June 21, 2012 at 12:28$ 80,000 to Best Programmers for Winning Robot Competition
MetaQuotes Software Corp. annually holds an automated trading championship for those who want to earn $ 80,000 with their professional skills and wisdom. Winners of past Championships have shown by example that this is possible.
Registration for the championship of this year has already begun, but there is enough time before its completion - as much as 3 months. After completing registration, the participant receives the right to put his trading robot to the competition. In real time, the robots created by participants will trade on dedicated servers for 3 months without the possibility of manual intervention. The winner is the participant whose robot will reach the finish line with the maximum amount on the account. Now we will tell you what kind of robots these are, what the essence of the competition is, and why it should never be missed.
Championship Automated Trading Championship 2012 is a competition of robots trading on the market according to a specific strategy laid down by their developer. Within three months, such a program will make trade deals, and the more it earns from them, the higher its place in the final table. Neither the participants nor the jury of the championship can intervene in this case in the trading process, but will only observe from the side.
The competition’s prize fund is quite decent: the winner will receive $ 40,000, the second comer will receive $ 25,000, and the bronze medalist $ 15,000. We hope this is a convincing occasion to take part in this battle of robots.
Are you actively programming in C ++ and other programming languages? Then you will certainly be able to understand the features of the MQL5 trading strategy programming language.
An unfamiliar MQL5 language should not become a serious barrier to this path, since it is based on the concept of C ++, and its syntax is similar to the syntax of C ++. Due to this, transferring code written in one of the modern programming languages to MQL5 is relatively simple.
MQL5 is an application language and is designed to automate trading strategies. MQL5 programs are compiled into executable files that can be run in the MetaTrader 5 client terminal. The main goal of the championship is to popularize the MQL5 programming language and the very idea of automatic trading.
However, the competition will seem interesting not only to the participants, but also to outside observers who are not directly involved in the battle. Indeed, almost daily on the site will be published news, interviews with the authors of outstanding robots and various reports. In the profile of each participant, detailed trading statistics on the activities of his robot will be displayed in real time, in addition, discussions will be held there.
In a word, even an ordinary viewer will be able to draw a lot of useful information from the battle taking place before his eyes, if he is interested in the topic of automatic trading in financial markets, or, more broadly, in the development of artificial intelligence.
In recent years, opportunities for automatic trading have increased many times, and access to financial markets has opened up to the masses. The debate does not cease whether an ordinary trader or programmer is able to create a profitable automated trading system. At the same time, an equally important question arises: “What knowledge do you need to have for this?” And the Automated Trading Championships are trying as hard as possible to answer these questions.
