The lead developer of MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal and MetaQuotes Language 4 (MQL4) Stanislav Starikov declared: ?At present, the unprecedented upturn, even boom of automated trading can be observed. According to average information, about 15 to 20% of all trade operations performed with our platform is made using mechanical trading systems (Expert Advisors). Taking into consideration the advantages of this new technology, we are sure that the amount of traders who use algorithmic trading in their activities will still grow?.
?Under conditions of so high popularity of automated trading, tournaments and contests are just a matter of time. Only lazy people or those who are not technically capable to offer automated trading to their clients will not do it. But we are technically capable! Moreover, unlike the most others, we are not planning to start a tournament or a contest. We will start the first Annual Automated Trading Championship!?
