SUMMARY:Mini Hackathon by Optiver
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event is not organized by Asset | Econome
 trics\, but is organized by study association GEWIS in Eindhoven and Optiv
 er. Step into the world of algorithmic trading – join the Optiver Coding
  Challenge! At Optiver\, they tackle complex coding problems every day —
  designing algorithms that must perform under the pressure of fast-moving 
 financial markets. Now it’s your turn to take on the challenge. Optiver 
 is inviting students to join a hands-on workshop where you’ll build a tr
 ading algorithm in Python that competes in real-time against other teams o
 n their simulated exchange\, Optibook. Your mission? Create an algorithm t
 hat helps companies expand into new markets and compete to have the best-p
 erforming solution. While PnL (profit and loss) is a factor\, it’s not t
 he only criteria they’ll use to determine the winner. This workshop is a
  simplified but realistic version of the daily work at Optiver. You’ll w
 alk away with a deeper understanding of how trading really works\, life at
  a trading firm\, and the skills to build and test your own trading algori
 thm.   No prior trading experience? No problem. This session is designed 
 for beginners — they’ll explain the basics of trading and finance\, an
 d our team will be on hand to support you throughout the challenge. Regist
 ration You can register through the website of GEWIS: https://gewis.nl/en/
 activity/view/7054. The registration deadline is October 8.
