ATC2011 contest has finally ended yesterday. Now it’s time to contemplate the results. I must say, it was a big disappointment to me. I haven’t expected my expert advisor to win, but I’ve really hoped for it to end up in profit. In the end, the account balance was at $6,188.84 — down from $10,000 initial balance. I ended up on 161st place. This result is better than my 2010 and 2008 ATC finishes, but is worse than my first attempt in 2007.
The main reason for my poor results was the choppy market, mainly in EUR/AUD pair. It was going quite well during the first three weeks of the ATC, but afterwards it turned into a complete disaster with a lot of losses and a few small profits. The results were the same on my simultaneous demo forward test.
But enough with my own matters. I’d like to congratulate the winners of this year:
