Trading Simulation at HKU!

Ever wondered what it takes to trade a real market?

Join IMC for a live Trading Simulation and experience first-hand how our traders operate. Using Python, you'll build and deploy your own trading bot, translate your logic into real-time trades, and test your strategy against competing teams — and against ours. It is the closest experience to how IMC'ers think, react and make decisions in fast-moving markets.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• Build and deploy your own Python trading bot
• Turn logic into real-time trades
• Compete against other teams (and our bots)
• Apply research-driven thinking in a fast-paced session
• Bring your laptop and a problem-solving mindset

Throughout the session there will be food and refreshments, the opportunity to network with IMC'ers, and prizes for our top performers.
