Interview with Nikolay (zonа)

A computer makes decisions without any hesitations and much sooner than a man. Well, one does not become conscience-stricken if the deposit is depleted, in case the Expert Advisor is unsuccessful. An EA is, of course, tested on a demo account and then tries to trade using real quotes.

Restart of Participants’ Terminals

The Participants' Client Terminals will be stopped and updated at the weekend. They will have been restarted before the new trading week starts.

How about some feedback about those who were disqualified before the competition started?

I have provided all source code used in the experts to prove that they are significantly different.

The only common thread is that they were compiled on the same computer!

I have yet to receive any feedback as to the logic behind why 4 experts with completely different strategies and even running on different pairs were excluded, other than the fact that they were compiled on the same computer!

Be cool Mike, it's useless to complain about it right now. If you wish, you can start to prepare for the next championship.

@MetaQuotes

Would you mind to add the line with "Pages:......." (and the links) to the beginning of the "comments" page too? Same as it is on the "discussion"s pages of each user?

Now in the comment's page, the line is only at the end, and this force us to navigate up/down many times (as we read the comments from the bottom of the page to the top). Try doing this for all 186 pages of the comments, and you will get bored for sure :D

Thanks a lot in advance

Hi

Another way your data kill my system!!

The difference is simple width this type of data my system is not running correct, with real data it will have open a sell position, with this “joke” of data it opens a buy position!

All this as become a kind of “joke”.

See how data must have be!!
