This is the starter repo to help you get started with QuantChallenge 2025.
Make sure you have installed the Sylvian extension and initialized it. This is required to be eligible for prizes!
- Go to the command palette (⇧⌘P on Mac, Ctrl + Shift + P otherwise)
- Search for 'Sylvian: Initialize Sylvian'
- Enter the email you used for the competition
If done correctly, your .competition file should include email=your_email_here. DO NOT EDIT THIS .competition FILE!
After having worked in your repository for a little, you should be able to go to quantchallenge.org > Dashboard > Settings and see that the extension is active. If it is not active, please contact support in the Discord!
This repo consists of two folders: /research and /trading.
The research folder contains a IPython notebook research_starter.ipynb that helps you get started on the datasets and how to format predictions for submission.
The trading folder contains both a C++ and Python template for trading algorithm to be used in the live trading portion of QuantChallenge 2025. For low-latency strategies, we recommend using C++ for a slight performance bump.
If you have any lingering questions, reach out for support on Discord or email info@quantchallenge.org
