Registration

Application

Registration for the 12th Annual UChicago Trading Competition on April 12-13, 2024, is now closed.

Qualifications

Applicants must be undergraduate students currently enrolled in a college or university. Applicants must register in teams of three to four members, and at least one team member must be able to program in Python. Priority may be given to teams of freshmen and sophomore participants.

The UChicago Trading Competition strives to offer hands on experience for students exploring the profession. Priority will be given to teams that do not have prior work experience in trading.

The experience of actually developing a trading algorithm taught me a tremendous amount, from how to work well and efficiently with a team to quant skills.
