| Pip Chief of Police and Site Owner | How to submit your robot to PipCop.com for testing Has your suggestion already been tested? Check the OLD REVIEWS first! TIP - I generally will NOT test a BRAND NEW robot. Trying to keep up with every single new robot that comes out with lots of hype and lots of backtests is a waste of time and efforts. Only after a robot has shown SOME semblance of performance for 3 to 6 months will I consider it. -------------- PLEASE READ THIS! > ONLY reply to this thread with robot recommendations!
> ALL off-topic posts are moved to this discussion thread. > PLEASE Pick the most appropriate option! There are only 4 options!
-------------- > 1. To recommend a robot for consideration, please REPLY to this thread (no emails please!) with: - The name of the robot
- The URL of the website where I can find it
- The URL where back & forward test results are available (if different.)
> 2. To recommend a company submit their robot to PipCop for review: - Ask them to email forums@pipcop.com for info OR
- Ask them to follow the directions below
- Per the Terms of Use, please DO NOT solicit companies on behalf of PipCop.com
> 3. If you created a robot that you would like reviewed, ALL items below are REQUIRED: - Email your robot, and all indicators/files, to forums@pipcop.com.
- Set your robot up to work "out of the box". All settings should be compiled so I do not have to make any changes.
- If your robot expires, please be sure it will last at least 6 months.
- Include a detailed back test to at least 12 months and a forward test to a least 3 months. (NOTE: Robots submitted without a both a back test and a forward test may not be considered, at my discretion, as PipCop is not a developer testing service.)
- Include a brief write-up describing it.
- Include your website address, and a link to the robot info (if different).
- Include contact details for clients (email, phone).
- If you have a website, any files sent will NOT be published on the site without your explicit permission.
- If you do NOT have a web site, your robot WILL be published so other users can try it.
- Please review the Terms of Service prior to submission.
> 4. If you created a robot that was reviewed, and performed poorly, and you want a re-evaluation: - Include all the details from the option above.
- Explain the circumstances explaining why you feel the previous review was faulty, and why a new review should be done.
- If we agree, a new review will be created. The old review will remain on the site, but will be updated to indicate the review is being re-done.
- In the event the new review is much more favorable, the old review may be removed at our discretion.
Then ... be patient! I generally add new robot over the weekend so they will start on a Monday morning. Questions? Please review the testing details.
Thanks!
