TQX: From Prompt to P&L, AI Trading in Practice

Walk in curious about AI trading. Walk out having submitted a live strategy to the Global AI Trading Championship.

What's TQX TQX (tqx.ai) is an AI quant platform — a visual workflow editor for building factor models, backtests, and LLM trading agents on HK and US equities. Three ways in: Template (3 minutes to a working strategy), Blank (drag-build your own DAG), or AI Dialog (natural language → workflow).

What's GATC The Global AI Trading Championship is a year-long, AI-only, real-money competition that runs on top of TQX. Rolling registration, monthly scoring cycles, 15 Million HKD prize pool, and a follow-on capital program for top performers. Join now and you're on the board next cycle.

What you'll leave with By the end of this workshop, every attendee will have:

1. A working TQX account with a simulation trading account
2. A built-from-scratch multi-factor strategy — and a backtest you can actually read
3. A basic LLM trading agent (Prompt → Agent → Orchestrator → Competition node)
4. A submitted simulated strategy with your name on a live sim leaderboard
5. A clear path into GATC: prizes, scoring, cycles, community

The day

• Foundations: what quant trading actually is, and how LLM agents change the game (40 min)
• TQX platform tour + live end-to-end pipeline (15 min)
• Partner intros: MoTa + Starchild (25 min)
• Hands-on lab: build factor strategy → wire LLM agent → submit (55 min)
• Q&A, networking (60 mins)

TAs on the floor at ~1:30 so nobody gets stuck.

Who this is for AI/ML engineers, developers, indie hackers, retail-algo traders, quant-curious students, and fintech builders. You'll get the most out of it if you can read basic Python, have built with LLMs before, or have any markets background.

Eligibility note GATC requires participants to be 18+ and legally able to trade securities in HK. The workshop itself is simulation-only, no brokerage or KYC needed to join us in the room.

Bring a laptop. We'll handle the rest.
