<p class="MsoNormal">Dragonfly Labs are running a Quantitative Trading Algorithm Competition at the University of Southampton between 6 and 9 December 2019.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
