The competition

IMC Prosperity 4 runs as a series of rounds combining algorithmic market making with manual trading puzzles. We competed as ROARINGLIONS with Vedang Abhyankar, Faisal Al-Jaaidi, Kaushal Gogula and Vasu Goyal.

The result

Second globally in manual trading, and top 6.5% overall out of 18,803 teams. The manual result is the one I would point at: it is the part that rewards reading a situation correctly under time pressure rather than tuning a strategy offline.
