The Championship: Interview with Valeri Karpenko (valvk)

[Forex Trader]

On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2006, the Interview with Valeri Karpenko (https://championship.mql5.com/2012/en/2006) has been published. Valeri's Expert Advisor, unlike the most of other Experts in the Championship, uses pending orders instead of market ones. Besides, his Expert Advisor does not use any indicators. Valeri tells about why he decided to compete with this particular Expert Advisor and explains his understanding of notion "stable Expert Advisor":

The most stable Experts are those having logical processing of the most frequently occurring errors. By the way, the Championship has given a very nice statistics on such errors: both for refuses to open a position and for Experts' start. Unfortunately, traders pay not very much attention to this: either they do not have time for this or they just do not mind consumption of the server resources in the dealing center. This is why some positions are not opened or they are opened at a wrong level. So, I suppose that the higher the standard of the Experts' programming culture is, the more stable they are.
