🤖 Wunder Fund Launches Alpha Connectome ML Competition with $13,600 Prize Pool

Submissions accepted until November 15, 2026 (competition running since September 11), limit of 5 per day. Top 8 share the USDT pool: $5,000, $2,500, and $1,700 for the first three places. Task: predict hidden t0/t1 indicators of future price movement based on 112 features from order books and trades of two instruments.

🌍 Open competitions have become a quant hiring pipeline for HFT firms: Wunder Fund is holding its third such round after Wunder Challenge and Predictorium, with strict verification: top 8 submit code with fixed seeds within 7 days and pass a call review, final rescoring is on a hidden dataset.

👤 Participation is free: public leaderboard, almost two months to work, prizes from $600 to $5,000 USDT, and an interview invitation at Wunder Fund. Even without making top 8, it's a ready-made pet project with order books.
