Jane Street On-Campus Electronic Trading Challenge @ University of Cambridge

Jane Street has hosted an on-Campus Electronic Trading Challenge (ETC), a day-long programming contest where participants competed against each other in a simulated market, on Saturday 21st October. The objective of the challenge was to learn about trading by writing a bot to make efficient markets against other teams.

The event began at 10:00 am BST and continued into the night. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were provided. This event was intended only for students currently enrolled at the University of Cambridge.

Lim Jeck (Mathematics), Sean Seet (Natural Sciences) and Wayne Soo (Engineering) formed an NUS High alumni team to take part in the above challenge. They emerged as the Champion team and won £511 each!
