Automated Trading Championship 2011 Has Started!

So, the Automated Trading Championship 2011 is over! and the winners are named. While waiting for the official winners announcement, we decided to remind you of some of the Championship figures. Unofficially we can call it a distribution of special awards for outstanding performance during the Championship.

But before moving to the list of nominations and winners we should announce statistical data on the computing resources consumption by the TOP-10 participants. This parameter directly affected the possibility of an Expert Advisor to enter the Championship. The absolute leader in the TOP-10 is aharata. His Expert Advisor consistently consumed for about half a gigabyte of RAM.

Also we should mention a few "outstanding consumers of resources" beyond the TOP-10. These are nimrodm (0.75 GB of RAM and up to 25% of CPU resources most part of the time), porthonkao (1.8 GB), Lizar (1.3 GB) and Tulpar_2011 (1.2 GB). They have managed to avoid disqualification only because of their more saving neigbours that have managed to use remaining resources efficiently enough to maintain their proper work.
