Face-off between AI dealing system & human dealers.
The company is also running an interesting AXE Challenge 2018 to be held from November 19 to 23. The AXE Challenge is between the AI dealing system developed by the startup and the human dealers.
AXE is a deep-running based trading system that divides large orders in line with the market conditions and automatically executes the billing functions such as pension and asset management.
In the main event, three general investors, one agency dealer, and three AXE teams, who have passed preliminaries through KOSCOM’s simulated investment system, each have a real account of 500 million won or $445k. In addition, the challenge will compile a ranking of the 50 buyers who bought cheaply for a total of 50 days in five days. If a human participant wins the AXE in the final rank, it will award 100 million won or $891k.
Hyung Sik-Kim said, “This competition is a demonstration of how the level of AI technology has developed in the dealing / trading field through actual confrontation with a human dealer. This event will show how AI technology will change the financial market in the future. It will be a good place to be. ”
The competition is sponsored by KOSCOM, PWC, NVIDIA, Shinhan Bank, Money Today Research Institute, Yangjae R & CD Innovation Hub and will be broadcast live via MTN.
