Overview

Built a trading algorithm for Algothon 2025, a competition organised by UNSW FinTech Society and Susquehanna International Group, competing against teams across Australia for prizes up to $5,000.

The challenge involved building a sophisticated trading algorithm to maximise risk-adjusted profits (mean(PL) − 0.1 × StdDev(PL)) in a simulated environment of 50 instruments, with a $10k position limit per stock.
