The MSCF Program is partnering with the Women in Quant Finance Club and Smart Woman Securities to bring an exhilarating one-day trading competition to Carnegie Mellon University's campus! This event will bring together over 150 talented students from across the university to showcase their quantitative and trading skills!
Inspired by the renowned Rotman International Trading Competition by the Rotman School of Management, at the University of Toronto, this event expands the access to market simulation games. It offers exclusive networking events with our sponsors as teams of CMU students compete for prizes and demonstrate their ability to understand and successfully execute trading strategies.
The competition brings together teams of students to compete in a unique 1-day simulated market challenge where they test their skills in real-time from the safety of a structured learning environment.
The deadline to apply is September 30th!
Participant Information
The one day competition will be comprised of student-formed teams of two working on quantitative trading strategies. Teams will compete in two cases released during the competition. All CMU students, undergraduate, masters, and doctoral are invited to form a team and apply.
It is strongly recommended that each team feature one member who is the Financial Strategy Lead and the other who is the Coding & Data Analysis Lead.
All participants will be offered the option of placing their resume in an event resume book that is shared with the event sponsors. During the competition there will be exclusive networking events and opportunities for onsite interviews. Breakfast and lunch will be provided.
