Automated Trading Championship 2008 Has Started!

Today, on the 1st of October 2008, the Automated Trading Championship 2008 has started! All preparatory stages are behind us. Registration and check of Expert Advisors are over. 705 Expert Advisors are admitted to the Championship.

Like in previous-year Championships, the majority of Participants are from Russia and Ukraine. They constitute 30.1% and 9.1% correspondingly. This year more developers from China participate in the contest as compared to the previous Championship. In 2007 China was only the seventh in the number of Participants, while now it is right after Russia and Ukraine making up 6.2% of the total number of Participants. Developers from Indonesia are in the fourth place again – they are 5.5% of all Participants.

For the Championship conduction powerful servers are leased. 47 MetaTrader 4 terminals with Expert Advisors run on each server. On the main page of the Championship website we publish graphs of 10 Participants that are most profitable at the moment. Detailed results and reports of each Participant can be viewed in the “Participants” section. Anyone who is registered on the Championship website can leave comments to articles and support this or that Participant.

“We hope this year the Championship will be as interesting and exciting as previous ones. Due to stricter rules, Expert Advisors that showed the best results and made no errors during testing are admitted to the contest. Developers worked hard, and now what is left for us to do is just observe the competition. I wish good luck to all Participants”, Renat Fatkhullin, CEO of MetaQuotes Software Corp., said.

We thank Forex Capital Markets LLC (FXCM), Interbank FX LLC, FXDD and TRADERS’ journal for their help in the organization of the Automated Trading Championship 2008.

Reporting the First Days of the Championship (1-3 October)

The first three days of the Championship appeared to be dramatic and managed to show what some Expert Advisors are capable of.

Lua-GD, the gd bindings for the Lua Programming Language
(c) 2004-06 Alexandre Erwin Ittner <aittner@netuno.com.br>


+ Introduction

"gd" is a C graphics library created by Thomas Boutell that allows your
code to quickly draw complete images with lines, polygons, arcs, text,
multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, flood fills, read in
or write out images in the PNG, JPEG or GIF format. This is particularly
useful in World Wide Web applications, where PNG and JPEG are two of the
formats accepted for inline images by most browsers. gd does not provide
for every possible desirable graphics operation. It is not necessary or
desirable for gd to become a kitchen-sink graphics package, but it does
include most frequently requested features, including both truecolor
and palette images, resampling (smooth resizing of truecolor images)
and so forth. You can get more information about gd from it's homepage.

Lua-GD is a "binding": a library that exports gd functions to the Lua
Programming Language, allowing you to use gd from Lua. The API was
NOT literally exported, but changed in a way that make it familiar to
Lua users.

Lua-GD is a programming library, not a paint program. If you are looking
for that or are not familiar to the Lua Programming Language, you are
in the wrong place.
