Reporting the 9th Week of the Championship (26 November-2 December)

9 weeks of the contest are already behind us. This week was not rich in surprises: Nearly all leaders of the Championship stayed on their places.

The first place is still held by Participant nicked Better. He has been taking the first line ot the Participants table for three weeks already. His equity has increased by 16.5 thousand dollars and makes 105 thousand now. Olexandr managed to leave the second-place Participant 66 thousand dollars behind. Only 3 weeks are left until the end of the contest, so Better is the most probable leader of it. Our congratulations to him once again!

The second place is taken by a Participant from Russia, zyx40, well-known by preceding weeks, too. In spite of his relatively little experience in trading, Alexei created a successful Expert Advisor that has managed to dig in the second place. His equity has grown by almost 5 thousand dollars this week and made 39 thousand. Good luck, Alexei!

The only place that no Participant is still able to dig in is the third one. This week, this place is taken by Participant maxfade from Ukraine. He was not even in Top Ten during the preceding weeks, but he finished this week on the 3rd place. His equity does not differ from that of zyx40 very much and makes nearly 38 thousand. Like Participants on the first and the second place, maxfade trades EURUSD. Our congratulations to his third place and best wishes for the rest of the contest!

The table of Top Ten of the ninth weeks looks as follows:

The Top Ten equity increased by 34 thousand dollars this week. Their total equity made 282 thousand. The most of this total equity was increased through the leader, Better. As of now, he seems to be the only challenger for the first place.The resting three weeks will show us the struggle for the second and the third place. Will the third place be taken by somebody we have already known from the preceding weeks or a newbie who would stick his or her neck out? Time will show. Let’s continue watching the Championship now.

Interview with William Boatright (wackena)

The EA works virtually the same on any chart timeframe as utilized timeframes are hard coded in the EA. I find this makes the EA more reliable.
