Of course, no. You dont even need to send us source code files (MQ5). Instead of this you may send already compiled EX5. The whole security system is made in the following way: two man in our company have access to the participants Expert Advisors to be able to check them before ATC. During the competition - only one man have access to EAs. After the ATC finish all the experts will be deleted immediately. Such scheme was used for three years of ATCs and the participants` EAs were always protected. PS: we dont need someones EAs. Our main and the only goal is to promote Automated Trading and MQL5 IDE.
For now the Rules of this-year Championship is not finished yet. But you may use the Rules of ATC 2008 (http://championship.mql4.com/2008/rules) as a base. But keep in mind, that the Rules of upcoming Championship will be harder.
MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester Released (http://www.mql5.com/en/forum/851)! "The Strategy Tester is the last component from the set of required tools for efficient development of Expert Advisors. This set also includes the MQL5, MetaEditor, debugger and execution module in the MetaTrader 5 Client Terminal. The absence of a tester was the last obstacle to the wide possibilities provided by the MQL5 environment. We hope that together with the release of MetaTrader 5 Strategy Tester, the number of new MQL5 Expert Advisors will sharply increase", - Stanislav Starikov, the senior developer of MetaTrader 4/5 terminals and MQL4/5, said.
