Summary of August 2010
The JForex Strategy Contest continues to be incredibly interesting and a learning experience for everyone interested in automated trading. Since launch of the contest, the winners always agreed to disclose the script of their strategies, providing an excellent case study for all newcomers. The 5th contest was not an exception, giving us 5 strategies posted on the JForex Community Forum.
The persistent participation in 5 contests in a row has finally borne fruit to Quantisan who became our 1st place winner. This is his second consecutive prize and the third in total. Quantisan kept changing and optimizing his strategy every month and it's likely that we might seen him with a new version of his strategy next month. Another old friend of the contest, olto is again in the top this time with 4th place. The 2nd and 3rd places went to xxtazzz and arnab who had a few attempts in the previous contests. The 5th place was given to Sacrelegre. Luckily, he managed to submit a registration right on the last day of the contest. According to the swiss participant, it took only one day to create his simple 100-line strategy. Not bad at all for a newcomer!
