$80000 in prizes: Automated Trading Championship 2006
Posted: Thu Jul 20, 2006 10:46 pm
Hello, friends,
MetaQuotes (the producer of MetaTrader4) announnced its Automated Trading Championship 2006. There won't be traders competing, but rather the strategies themselves - they will run automagically on the MetaQuotes server from October 1st to December 25th.
The total amount of prizes is equal to USD 80,000. Registration is possible from the 1st of August until the 25th of September.
The natural prerequisite is that you have your strategy written/converted to MetaTrader4's "Expert Advisor" (as they call the strategy) and willing to send the strategy over to MetaQuotes. I guess it's possible to send them the encrypted "Expert Advisor" code so that no staff guy should be able to disassemble it.
Anyway, the commonplace SW writing geek is able to disassemble almost anything (I know first hand ) Even without disassembling, it's comfortable to have several more working strategies in your shelf. I don't know how MetaQuotes secures that no one would disassemble/use your code during/after the competition.
