Hi folks,
I would just put in here my thoughts about this matter because I consider it very important!!
I'm 'new' to the contest because I'm a java beginner despite a great help by a great teacher (...), but really there are 3 things that should be quite clear to everybody:
1. One thing is
download a strategy to understand how the participant managed with a situation or the other. ANother thing is
change SL&TP and put that strategy in the contest. Quite ridicoulus, and also big shame on that kind of action!! The contest is for strategies, not for the best copier!!!!!
2.
SL&TP by my side could even not exist. Doesn't matter. Basically one can set rules to close a position in many different ways than a simple order. I also in the past was for the SL-TP thing R/R etc... then I grew up and learned more aspects regarding automated strategies.........................
3. IMO "
less than 90% of copied content", basically means that one uses a similiar idea with some copied content but overall the strategy is different. If 100lines of code means that 10 lines has to be different, math is not an opinion! So changing TP-SL-TF is not 10 different lines out of 100. And contestants not respecting these rules should be disqualified! Else in few months we see everybody with the same strategy running. So then? Who's the winner?
Thank you and wish you all the best
