Last year in the Automated Trading Championships I ran a long term though risky EA I threw together very quickly just before the championships started, that EA was actually half decent (I was leading for a couple of weeks). I remember many people complaining about their EA’s being unable to open or close positions which fortunately didn’t really affect me, however with the troubles I’ve been having this year I can see that it’s a bit of a joke. It’s 2 days since the competition started and my EA has yet to start trading properly… The apparent reason for it?
C’mon guys (MetaQuotes), you’re meant to be showing how good your platform is for automated trading! If you can’t manage to have EA’s online consistently then what hope does the rest of the world have?
While I’m under no illusions that being unable to trade will prevent me from winning the championships (I’ve mentioned previously that this EA is really being run as a live test). I still find it amazing that they can run it so poorly, and with barely a word from the organisers.
