Not so good myself with mql and automated trading systems, but it's a matter I'm definitely interested in, so it will be a great event to watch. Anyone here who will participate?

Maybe someone should submit Firebird for the challenge.

Hi,

I will participate with an EA implementing the 1H vegas tunnel :-) Not sure I will win but the most important is to participate lol

It will be very interesting even if the challenge is no longer than 3 mounths.

bye bye

I had the same idea. Unfortunately when you go to sign up and read the rules it will be hard to enter any form of Firebird. One of many rules is "The maximum amount of simultaneously opened positions and pending orders is 3." If I read the rules correctly.

Yes, for my expert no problems, but with firebird, you have to limit the maxtrade to 3 and if you are in the good period during the challenge, you can win it, same thing with the Multi_Lot_Scalper.

I tried to read the rules for this competition but I can't quite find what I'm looking for. I interpret it as saying that we can submit an EA which will have only one currency pair and one time frame to work with. Is this correct?



thanks,

Hi Andersen,

Not quite. The rules saying that your expert will be applyed only to one timeframe and to one pair. BUT, your expert can trade on any of 12 pairs and periods, being applyed only to one pair/period. In other words, multicurrency experts are allowed.

For example, you submitting your expert and applying it to H1, EURUSD. But it doesnt mean that your expert can trade on D1, USDGBP. To make this, please specify in your experts description, that you want additional charts to be opened (if charts are not opened, even the multicurrency expert will work as singlecurrency). And of course, in this case your expert must be able to work with multiple currencies from one chart.

Best Regards

Well,

My expert has only made about $200 so far in the competition. I read the rules wrong. I thought you had to trade a 0.10 micro lot. I also messed up the code with a cut and past error. My sell section does a buy... blast... maybe next year...lol

Just curious if anyone else has been monitoring the championship. I find it intriguing, not to mention, when I take a closer look at their trades! Some of them have huge stop losses. I was shocked to see that some of them have 70-100+ pips as a stop loss! is this normal? I usually have mine set to between 40-50 pips.
