对于2006自动交易锦标赛的设备

The blade server PowerEdge 1855 at the cost of US$35 000 has been delivered to the central office of the MetaQuotes Software Corp. today. The server was ordered at the Dell Computer Corporation (USA). It took about one and a half month for it to get to its place here, in Kazan (Russia).

Servers of this type are used to solve many complicated, computation-intensive tasks. The Automated Trading Championship 2006 is one of such tasks, as well. PowerEdge 1855 is a set of 10 servers in one package and should be fixed in a mounting block. A MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal with the Participants' expert advisors will be launched on each of them. All terminals will be connected to the MetaQuotes Software Corp. server via a separate data center and compete with others for prizes of the Championship within 3 months.

Each Blade has:
  • Dual Xeon @ 3.2 GHz
  • 4 Gb SDRAM DDR2
  • SCSI RAID1, 73 Gb

APC Smart-UPS RT 8000VA:
  • power output - 6400 Watt
  • additional batteries

The blades will operate continuously until the Automated Trading Championship 2006 ends. This server allows providing the same conditions for all Participants - each expert advisor will work during the entire Championship. Moreover, this allows everybody to watch the trading of each expert in the online mode using investor's passwords.

To provide stability, the server will operate via an uninterruptible power supply APC Smart-UPS RT 8000VA with a supplementary battery package. By estimate, this power must be sufficient to provide stable operation of servers within an hour. Internet connection is provided using two independent lines: a fiber-optic line and an ADSL. If troubles occur in one of them, the other will connect automatically.

After the server is mounted, the MetaQuotes Software Corp. professionals will start to test the equipment. The test results will be published later.

"The other 350 potential participants are highly recommended to make up for lost time: The registration deadline is approaching. If they linger and wait until the last day to complete their registration, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to check their details and test their Expert Advisors. This may result in having their participation refused," - says Stanislav Starikov.
对于 Patrick Nouvion的访谈

"I was in Vegas for the Forex Traders Expo last week or so, and still a lot of people came to me and asked "What is automated trading?" and once I told them they still could not believe it was fully automated. A lot of gurus insist on execution and how it has to be fast, mechanical. They insist on how you have to respect your own rules, well an automated expert is the perfect solution for all this, but not enough people realize it is available yet."
