Automated Trading Championship 2011: Preferences of the ATC 2010 Participants

Before the start of each Championship, we receive hundreds of Expert Advisors that are subject to automatic preliminary testing. We decided to analyze testing reports of all applicants for participation in the Automated Trading Championship 2010. So we studied 425 reports of the Expert Advisors that were subject to automatic testing last year.

What we analyzed

Each Expert Advisor testing report contains a large number of statistical values, like the number of trades or the maximum consecutive losses. However, we were interested not in the testing results shown during automatic checks, but in the preferences of participants in terms of the following parameters:

  • the symbol on which the Expert Advisor was tested
  • chart timeframe
  • the number of input parameters of an Expert Advisor.

Our interest is connected, first of all, with the every developer of trading systems faces such questions. Each currency pair has its own character and advantages, a chart timeframe largely determines the trading activity of the Expert Advisor, while the number of input parameters an both help to optimize a system and lead a developer into the quagmire of fitting.

Distribution of Expert Advisors Based on Currency Pairs

Traditionally, in the first statistical report of Automated Trading Championships we publish data about the number of Expert Advisors trading this or that symbol. Based on this data we didn't doubt that EURUSD would carry the palm - being the most popular currency pair from year to year, it was used in 296 Expert Advisors.

Automated Trading Championship 2011: Registration Is Finished!

On September 23, 2011 at 23:59 (Moscow time) registration for participation in the Automated Trading Championship 2011 was finished.

Since that time Expert Advisors are not accepted anymore, the EA automated verification system is stopped and it is already impossible to apply for participation in the Championship. During the remaining days until the start of the contest the Expert Advisors and personal details will be checked manually. The multiple registrations facts will be revised as well.

For almost four months we have been accepting applications for participation in the contest. 2442 applicants in total have been registered during this time. This is 716 people more than last year.

Though it was quite expectable, it must be noted that a real burst of activity was detected during the Registration last days. From September 12 to 23 the number of the Expert Advisors submitted to the Championship more than doubled increasing from 221 to 510.

As a result, personal data of 1217 applicants (out of 2442 ones) was approved. 510 applicants attached their Expert Advisors. 397 of them have passed automatic verifications at the moment. Therefore, only 16% from the initial number of potential participants will most probably test their Expert Advisors in the competition.

Automated Trading Championship 2011: Changes in the Expert Advisors for the Last Year

The article "Preferences of the ATC 2010 Participants" reveals the statistical data that had been obtained after the testing reports of all the Expert Advisors submitted for the Automated Trading Championship 2010 were analyzed. The following basic parameters were considered: the symbol and the timeframe on which an Expert Advisor was tested and also the number of input parameters.

This time we analyzed basic report parameters of 506 Expert Advisors that had been subject to automatic tests for Automated Trading Championship 2011 and compared them with the same parameters of the Expert Advisors that had been submitted for the last year's Championship.

Distribution of Expert Advisors Based on Currency Pairs

In comparison with the previous Championship there are no any significant changes concerning currency pairs. EURUSD is still the most popular pair. More than 80% of participants have chosen it this year. It is almost 12% more than last year. At that, the number of the Expert Advisors working with GBPUSD decreased by 7%.

The pace of registration for the Automated Trading Championship 2011 is much more intensive compared to the previous year. Over 1250 people have already applied to participate. This figure is very close to that of 2008, when, at the peak of the annual tournaments of Expert Advisors in MQL4, there were about 1,500 applications.

It is a no brainer that if you used MQL4 instead of MQL5 you would have a better reflection of what is really going on in automated trading.

Seriously who uses MQL5?

Your sponsors should appreciate this too!
