On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2008, an Interview with Tony Manso (amelabs) has been published. It is not the first time Tony Manso participates in the Championship. Last year his Expert Advisor was not very successful. This year his program staying on leading positions and shows very good results. In his EA Tony uses Trailing Stop instead of a fixed Stop Loss level.
In my experience, setting a fixed stop-loss is a recipe for disaster. Instead, what I do is set an initial stop-loss so far out that it's not likely to ever be reached. Then I can withstand some very large drawdowns immediately after the trade is placed. Once the trade goes in my favor and I realize a specific candlestick pattern, I know it's time to start a trailing stop. As far as take-profit goes, I generally set that before stop-loss. The procession is this:
1. I place the trade at open of a new bar.
2. At the next open bar I set take-profit if I recognize a certain candlestick pattern.
3. If my trade is in profit at the 3rd bar but my take-profit isn't hit yet, then I start looking for opportunity to start a trailing stop. Again, this only happens if a specific candlestick pattern is recognized.

On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2008, an article Reporting the Third Week (13-19 October) has been published. The previous week was relatively calm in the Forex market as compared to the two previous ones. But the previous two weeks had a strong trend that was very favorable to many Participants, while the third one had a negative impact and many EAs met losses. This influenced the equity of the top Participants. The total equity of the Championship Participants is now $389 thousand US dollars, which is by 15% less than the previous week value (more than $460 thousands).

On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2008, an Interview with Maxim Minenko (maximich) has been published. Maxim Minenko, known as maximich, is not so long in trading. However, he has got his own idea that the simpler a system is, the better. Maxim participates in the Championship with the Expert Advisor Soviet Habor named after his native town Sovetskaya Gavan (Soviet Harbor). The main purpose of his EA's work is staying in the Championship possibly long and not getting the maximal profit.
...my EA is governed by an absolutely different system. It fixes a preset profit and thus increases its next lot. This gives my EA an additional chance to stay long in the Championship and have all chances to win!
For the present he succeeds in it - he rarely leaves the top-ten list.

On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2008, an article Reporting the Fourth Week (20-26 October) has been published. The fourth week of the ATC 2008 is over. This week in the forex market was rich in events for almost all currency pairs. Of course, this had its impact on competing Expert Advisors. The top ten has changed greatly, as well as the balance and Equity of the most Participants. And the Equity of this week's leader Gorez sometimes exceeded 140,000 US dollars! This is due to three open positions. These positions are still open. So we are looking forward for this Participant's results.
The total Equity of the top ten equal to $697,157 which is almost twice larger than the previous week value of $318,715.

On the website of the Automated Trading Championship 2008, an Interview with Andrey Soloviev (solandr) has been published. Andrey Soloviev (solandr) is a regular Participant of the Automated Trading Championship. In 2006 he presented a simple Expert Advisor, in 2007- a multicurrency one. This year Andrey presents the same EA as in the previous-year Championship. Besides, he published the source code of his Expert Advisor.
I believe that the Championship idea of MQL4 popularization, as well as the idea that robots can trade without human intervention and make profit need convincing proofs for potential users. And the main proof here is the open source code of an Expert Advisor. This eliminates disbelief in “blackbox EAs” of those who know very little about the automated trading.
Unfortunately, in 2006 and 2007 Andrey's Expert Advisors did not show good results. What will be his results in the current Championship?
