WEEX stated: "Strategy quality and modeling capability are the key competitive advantages in the future AI trading era. We hope to attract global developers through this event to collectively drive this field to higher standards."
Event Highlights: Strategy Effectiveness as the Core, A Technical Hackathon Benchmarking Real Market Scenarios
This hackathon focuses on the "Ability of AI to integrate with real-time market structure," assessing based on the essence of strategy capability rather than winning based on programming speed or interface functionality.
Main evaluation dimensions include:
Market Structure Identification
Whether the algorithm can understand key structures such as trend changes, consolidation phases, and breakout opportunities.
High-Frequency Data Processing Performance
The model's robustness and execution efficiency under high-dimensional, high-velocity data.
Volatility and Drawdown Control Capability
Whether the strategy has an adaptive mechanism to maintain stable performance in different volatility environments.
Extreme Market Condition Response Capability

Generalization Ability and Stability
Whether the strategy can maintain consistency across different times, products, and volatility ranges.
All strategy tests will be conducted in the technical environment provided by WEEX, including simulated market data, testing sandbox, and a unified review system, to give the strategy's performance stronger reference value.
