The Championship: Interview with Merab Sturua (Merabiko)

 
On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2006, the Interview with Merab Sturua has been published (https://championship.mql5.com/2012/en/2006). Although his Expert Advisor is not in the Top Ten of the championship, Merab is a well-experienced trader. The Participant tells about Automated Trading, about his impressions of the Championship and main things in Expert Advisors development:
The most important thing for the Expert Advisor is the logic, the strategy contents. Applicability under all market conditions and a properly written code. Money management is helpful, of course. But only as an idea about how much of the deposit one can lose and how much profit one can expect to gain. If there is a clear idea of to what limits the profit-loss fluctuations can be expected, it is possible to provide the program within a half of an hour with a plough-back method or with a technique that prevents losses of the profits gained.
