Cambridge and Oxford teams compete in algorithmic crypto trading contest
More than one dozen teams representing the mathematics and computer science departments of Oxford and Cambridge universities are competing to build crypto trading algorithms on major exchanges Coinbase Pro and FTX.
According to a Nov. 25 announcement, the 15 teams will be assessed on their trading strategies, the technical design of their algorithms, and their overall return-on-investment. The competition launched on Nov. 16 and will run until Dec. 16.
The strategies employed include arbitrage, predictions based on machine learning and neural networks, and trend investing based on time-sequence forecasting.
