Inspiration

We are inspired by all the genius other teams that gave us anxiety throughout the whole challenge due to their enormously high score!

What it does

Simple, low/no-risk market-making, sentiment analysis and good old arbitrage :)

How we built it

Using a classifier model to check the sentiment, and then using highly performant business logic to take care of the market making

Challenges we ran into

To make sure the trading bot went smoothly, robust programming was a must. Every edge case had to be considered!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We've set up an efficient, multi-threaded, notification-based architecture which can outperform many other simpler, polling-based architectures. Our sentiment analysis model has been tuned to be incredibly fast (~0.1 seconds) while having a very low false negative rate.

What we learned

Strategy alone is not everything! Good engineering is just as important as good ideas
