邀请你参加Startegic Trading  Game人工智能编程竞赛。

As one of three AI Challenges at the 25th Australasian Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AI'12), The first Australasian Strategic Trading Game will provide an opportunity to participants who want to practice their skills in building trading agents for automated trading in financial markets.

The Competition

Each participant in the competition will be required to design and implement a trading agent, acting as a trader, which can remotely connect to the game server and compete each other for best performance of investment in financial markets. The markets will be simulated using the data from real-world financial markets. The trading agents and markets will run on the Jackaroo Trading Agent Platform (JTAP), which can be downloaded from this website.

For details on how to design the trading agent for JTAP please visit the Trader design section of this website, here. You will find sample strategies, platform structure and the information that will be available to participants for designing their own strategies.
Aims:

    Design trading agents that are able to trade in a set of financial markets with different assets, such as stocks, shares of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and option contracts.
    Design trading strategies for your trading agents to make investment decisions on when, which products and what price to buy or sell a financial asset.
