Launch Event | Tuesday 22 October 2019 | Building 2, Highfield Campus

Dragonfly Labs are running a Quantitative Trading Algorithm Competition at the University of Southampton between 6 and 9 December 2019.

The competition will involve writing a novel trading algorithm with a prize of £10,000 funding for the winning algorithm. The competition is open to anyone and no previous experience of trading financial markets is required. However, a tenacious attitude to problem solving is a must. Advantage will come from mathematical, analytical and programming skills.
