Think you’re sharp(e)? Work with your team to design a strategy to beat the market and discover the problems that Hudson River Trading (HRT) staff work on day to day. You’ll be analysing data and coding a solution, with prizes for the most successful team.
Join us on Thursday, 26 November 2026, from 18:15 to 21:00 in CAB G 11. Ready to enter the arena?
Food is going to be served after the competition and you'll get a chance to network with the people of HRT <3.
Please be on time! The competition starts at 18:15 sharp. Unfortunately, late arrivals will not be able to take part and will be greylisted.
Important: This is a coding competition in teams of upto 5, please bring your own laptop.
Preparation: Before the competition, we recommend setting up an environment where you can run a Jupyter notebook. You can run this locally on your machine, or use a free online service like Google Colab. We recommend each team member have their own environment to test ideas in parallel.
