Automated Trading Championship 2010
MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester Released!
But i see not even a single broker offer MT 5 for early accounts and its not too early to switch competition based on MT 5 for automated championship cases? i feel conducting both on MT 4 and 5 will be a better choice if possible.

You right, the platform is not released yet and some brokers allowing work in MT5 on demo-accounts only. These brokers got the MetaTrader 5 for tests. However, at the same day (1st of June) we will release the Platform and we hope that many brokers start offering the platform to their clients. So the decision to launch ATC 2010 with MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisors was right, by our opinion.
If speak about ATC for both MQL4 and MQL5 EAs, its impossible, unfortunately. So it can be MQL4 EAs only or MQL5 EAs only. We chosen MQL5-ones, because we are launching the new platform and the ATCs aim is to promote Auomated Trading as whole and MQL5 IDE particularly.
And last, but not least: traders got the MetaTrader 5 Terminal with MQL5 IDE 8 (eight) month ago (MetaTrader 5 Public Beta Testing - MQL4 forum). We think that its enough amount of time to test new IDE and learn how to write the MQL5-EAs.
Automated Trading Championship 2010: Registration Will Start One Month Earlier
As you may know, the Automated Trading Championship 2010 will be conducted soon. Currently preparations are underway for the upcoming contest.
However, this year the Championship is conducted only for MQL5 Expert Advisors written for the new MetaTrader 5 terminal. Probably, some of the developers didn't have enough time to acquaint themselves with the new terminal, its trading system and the MQL5 development environment. Therefore, this year we decided to extend the registration period for the participants of the Automated Trading Championship 2010.
Registration of participants will start on the 1st of June, not July. On this day, we will officially launch the Championship website and start the registration. Anyone will be able to participate in the Automated Trading Championship 2010. Simply submit your application, fill out your personal details and send us your Expert Advisor. The registration end date is the same - the 22nd of September.
On the Championship website, we will publish different materials to help all developers to correctly prepare their Expert Advisors and complete registration. Also comments and explanations of the Championship Rules will be published there.
The new MQL5.community website will also be helpful for all those who decided to participate in the contest. We have published the full documentation, about 100 MQL5 programs and dozens of articles on this website. All these publications will assist you in developing Expert Advisors and indicators in MQL5.
Sponsors of the ATC 2010 are: Interbank FX LLC (IBFX), MIG Bank and FXCM (Forex Capital Markets LLC). Media sponsors are the TRADERS' magazine and Dow Jones. The organizer of the Championship is MetaQuotes Software Corp.
One Month of Registration of Automated Trading Championship 2010
On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2010, an article One Month of Registration of Automated Trading Championship 2010 has been published.
A month has passed since the beginning of registration of the Automated Trading Championship 2010 participants. During this period, we received about 400 applications. Nearly the same number of applications was received for the first month of registration in 2006, when the first Automated Trading Championship was held. Such a small number of applications is due to the use of a new development environment: in 2006 the Championship was the first competition for the developers of trading systems in MQL4; now the ATC 2010 is a pioneer in the competitive development of trading systems in MQL5. Rashid Umarov, a specialist of MetaQuotes Software Corp., believes that the total number of applicants will finally exceed 3000, while more than 500 users will participate in the Championship. Such was the experience of past competitions.
The Sponsors of the Automated Trading Championship 2010 are the following: Interbank FX LLC (IBFX), MIG Bank SA, FXCM (Forex Capital Markets LLC). Media-sponsors - TRADERS' journal and Dow Jones & Co. information agency. The Organizer of the Championship is MetaQuotes Software Corp.
The Evolution of Expert Advisors in 2006-2008
On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2010 a new article has been published: The Evolution of Expert Advisors in 2006-2008. It provides an analysis of the various parameters of Expert Advisors, which have been sent to the Championships of the years 2006-2008. From the provided materials you will learn how the Expert Advisors and the average level of developers has changed throughout these three Championships.
The profitability of Expert Advisors increases from year to year, developers create more and more complicated Expert Advisors, and the vast majority of robots already contain the embedded modules of money management. Multi-currency MQL4 Expert Advisors evolved slowly, but the Organizers hope that this situation will change at the Championship of 2010.
