Overview
WEEX AI Wars II: Rise of Intelligence is a unique trading competition that pits human traders against AI-driven strategies in a series of live futures trading rounds. Unlike traditional hackathons, this event focuses on actual trading performance rather than project submissions or code repositories. Participants must choose between joining 'Team Human' to compete with their trading expertise or 'Team AI' to deploy automated trading strategies, AI agents, or quant systems. The competition features five rounds of live futures trading, with rankings determined by multiple metrics including profits, risk management, and strategy stability. The event offers a substantial prize pool for all participants, with exclusive rewards and recognition for top AI strategy builders. It aims to showcase the capabilities of both human intuition and artificial intelligence in the dynamic world of cryptocurrency futures trading. This event is designed for both seasoned traders and AI developers. Team AI participants will build and deploy automated systems, while Team Human participants will rely on their market knowledge and decision-making. The overarching goal is to explore the evolving landscape of trading strategies and provide a platform for innovation and competition.
What to build
Team AI participants are required to build and deploy automated trading strategies, AI agents, API trading systems, or quant strategies that will operate in live futures markets. The focus is on performance and robustness in real trading conditions, evaluated on metrics beyond just profit.
