make $80,000. The ATC will start on October 1, 2006, for almost three months
(until December 25). Registration and selection of participants began on
August 1. MetaTrader 4 lead developer Stanislav Starikov declared: "About
15 to 20% of all trade operations performed with our platform are made
using mechanical trading systems (Expert Advisors). Taking into consideration
the advantages of this new technology, we are sure the amount of traders
who use algorithmic trading in their activities will still grow."
