Sponsored by MIG Bank, Go Markets Pty Ltd, Vantage FX and Forex-TSD, the Automated Trading Championship 2011 is developed in the MQL5 language for programming trading strategies. The main goal of the Championship is to popularize automated trading.

From year to year, struggling for the prize of $80,000, hundreds of users from all over the world submit their MQL-developments for the Championship. However, this year’s Championship will be special. This will be the world’s first competition of trading robots able to trade not only on the Forex, but also in the stock market. Moreover, the extended functionality of the MetaTrader 5 client terminal and the release of the MQL5 Wizard will entail a significant increase of the number of Participants.

“Over 300 Expert Advisors participated in the previous Championship”, Stanislav Starikov, the Championship Jury member, said.

“This year the number will increase substantially – we expect to receive several thousands of applications for participation. The reason for this surge lies in the recently released MQL5 Wizard, using which any trader without programming skills can easily create a trading robot. Though, this would not guarantee a victory in the Championship, of course,” Starikov said.

We are pleased to announce the release of a new version of the MQL5 Wizard. This version contains an important function: now trading robots can be created based on different combinations of symbols. This innovation allows using sophisticated analysis and getting more accurate signals. Ultimately this will increase the number and variety of automated trading programs created using the Wizard. Currently the MQL5 Wizard includes about 20 trading signals that can be combined to produce a variety of different algorithms.

With the release of the Wizard the distance between a trader and an MQL5 Programmer has been reduced to a minimum. These new features open up new horizons to ordinary traders. All the exciting technologies that used to be the prerogative of experienced EA developers, are now available to the large army of traders. All that you need for creating your own robot is the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal and a few minutes. In just a few clicks you can create a trading robot based on any elaborate strategy.

This is a truly revolutionary step in the development of automated trading. Never before has this technology gone beyond the scope of MQL-developers. Now the rich functionality of the MQL5 environment is available to any trader. Install the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal and start writing your own Expert Advisors.
