AI Agent Trading Hackathon | Cambridge
A 6-hour in-person hackathon in Cambridge where you compete to build the best AI trading agent using Q314's no-code platform β no coding or quant finance background required.
Can you build an AI agent that beats the market?
Join Q314 and Oxbridge AIx for a 6-hour in-person hackathon in Cambridge, where participants compete to build the most effective AI-powered trading strategy β using Q314's platform as your environment.
Q314 is a no-code AI trading agent builder. You describe your strategy in plain English β for example, "build a strategy based on the correlation between oil and gold prices" β and Q314's AI co-pilot builds a fully configured agent for you. You can then backtest it against historical data, analyse performance across different market conditions, and benchmark it against indices like the S&P 500 and FTSE.
You bring the idea. Q314 helps you build it.
