Quant trading competition

[andrewm]

If our fund holds a quant trading competition, with the winners running a real capital allocation would there be an interest from this community.

Please let me know thoughts if there is a good out turn we will hold one.

Hi we currently run tournaments: www.battle-fin-usa.com Our next one starts February 1st with $10mm in allocations. There is no cost to enter and we can monitor just about any brokerage account. We do not look to own the IP either. You can also see the article Businessweek wrote about us at http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-12-20/the-hedge-fund-hunger-games. Let us know if we can help.

2 month timelines? That seems, naively short, no?

Battle-fin.com runs tournaments quarterly, this allows us to keep tracking strategies but also gives people the chance to actually get capital on a consistant basis. Waiting a year can cause people to lose interest. Always looking for ways to improve though.
