AI 交易沙盒挑战赛·美股站
主办方:Creek Labs by SAIFPartners
技术合作方:香港大学 HKUDS 实验室
赛事介绍
“如果让 AI 在真实市场结构下交易,它到底能走多远?”
Creek Labs 为开发者、投资爱好者、AI 创作者们搭建了一个开放的实验环境 C Field——这是一个专门为「AI × Trading」设计的线上沙盒。希望通过本次“AI 交易沙盒挑战赛·美股站”,让每个人都能在 C Field 上用自己的方式探索 AI 驱动交易的边界。
这里不是学院研究,也不是投研实训;更像是一次 AI 交易黑客松(Trading Hackathon) + 创意策略大赛。

Event Introduction
“If we let AI in a real market structure — how far can it go?”
Creek Labs has built C Field, an open experimental environment for developers, investors, and AI creators —a sandbox designed specifically for “AI × Trading.”
Through this “AI Trading Sandbox Challenge · U.S. Market Edition,” we invite participants to explore the boundaries of AI-driven trading in their own way.
This is not academic research and not an investment training program —it’s more like a Trading Hackathon + Creative Strategy Competition.
Event Information
-
• Format:
Online screening → One-month sandbox trading challenge → Live trading tests and potential long-term collaboration with top teams. Real-time performance during the challenge will be displayed on the Creek Labs website via the Live Trading Board.
-
• Who Should Join: -
• Anyone interested in using AI for investment research and decision-making -
• Skilled AI Prompt users -
• Independent developers with coding experience -
• Trading Scope:
U.S. stocks, ETFs, Options. -
• Participation Type:
Individual or team (up to 3 members) -
• Application Materials:
A concise presentation of your trading strategy or technical proposal, including: -
• Logic framework -
• AI application method -
• Risk control approach -
• Research basis -
• Judging Panel:
Creek Labs investment experts, HKU technical mentors, private fund managers, and AI technology advisors -
• Sandbox Platform:
C Field is the AI trading sandbox platform developed by Creek Labs for this challenge.It provides a full-stack environment — from Bot-level interaction to custom Agents and independent framework integration, all simulated on the real U.S. market structure.
-
• Key Evaluation Metrics:
AI experimentation ability, strategic creativity, and technical execution
Competition Tracks
1. Bot Track – Trade Without Code
-
• For:
Investors and non-technical participants.
Use C Field’s conversational AI trading assistant (Bot) to enhance your trading logic and factor research, combine it with your personal judgment, and manually execute trades on the C Field simulation interface.
-
• Limitations:
No automated execution; limited Tokens (to maintain system stability) -
• Core Idea:
Bring your ideas — let AI fill in the gaps.
2. Agent Track – The Arena for Prompt Engineers
-
• For:
Participants familiar with Prompting, investment logic, and basic Agent tuning, as well as those who can understand simple coding structures. Build your own strategy Agent using C Field’s customizable Agent interface, conduct in-depth research, and execute strategies through one of three modes: -
• Fully automated execution -
• Semi-automated execution (manual confirmation required per trade) -
• Advisory mode (manual trading after recommendations) -
• Limitations:
Restricted high-frequency Agent execution; higher Token limit than the Bot Track (for system stability) -
• Core Idea:
Turn your Prompt into a truly functioning trading Agent.
3. Developer Track – The True Builders
-
• For:
Developers capable of designing architectures and building AI-based trading systems. Focus on using AI models and algorithms to detect trading signals and factors. Integrate your project with C Field’s open API, access real-time market data, and execute trades directly. -
• Core Idea:
Rebuild the entire trading pipeline with technology.
