According to the Championship Rules, each competing Expert Advisor must properly consider symbol settings without rigidly specified parameters. Spreads and minimum deviations from the market prices can dynamically change dependent on the market conditions. While volatility is high or the news are arriving, there can occur problems with trade execution or order modification.
