@nongnat Hi,

1. Ranking metric is Sharpe Ratio of the Contest Period (specifically for Q24 Contest it is April 1, 2026 - July 31, 2026).

2. Unique user - each user can only win one prize .

3. The prize structure is the same as all earlier competitions - allocation to top 7 submissions with structure $1M / $750K / $500K / $100K / $50K × 3

4. The notebook example/template is made for Q24 Contest. Scale date in the template is chosen randomly just as simulation, to present how the scaling function works. Q24 dates are:

• Last date for Q24 submissions -> March 31, 2026
• Scale date -> July 31, 2026
• Live payouts -> September 1, 2026 - September 1, 2027

5. 'In Contest' - submissions selected to participate to certain contest, and contest is still in the Contest Period (like Q24 at the moment).
   'After Contest' - submissions from all earlier completed contests.
   Strategies in Candidates, cannot be selected to running contests in which Entry phase is over (Contest Period started).

6. SubmissionEquity <= 1.0 - no payouts. SubmissionEquity > 1.0 but underperforms the benchmark - no payouts. SubmissionEquity > 1.0 and overperforms the benchmark, there are payouts calculated by the formula.

7. Payouts are calculated at the end of each month of Payout phase, based on the profit generated relative to the benchmark (only new profits):
   Prize * 0.1 * (PayoutScore – 1.0),
   which means 10% of the profit generated.

Please feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best regards,

@copper-herring ok, thanks for reporting, we will

@rubber-metapod We are not running any futures contest right now.

Hi, the progress depends on many submissions are in the queue.

@black-magmar Yes.

@optical-turtle The Q24 entries will be updated soon.

@vg2001 It has been fixed, sorry

@antinomy Dear antinomy, thanks for the comment. We believe that there is a problem with the asset selection in your submission. The Q23 contest is aimed to trade assets belonging to the full SP500 universe, it is not a Nasdaq-100 contest.

@svyable Hi,
sorry for late answer, no we don't provide that option, but we will think about adding it in future.

@wool-hypno Which codes?

@granite-ditto Hi, the first source of information is the documentation at:

https://quantiacs.com/documentation/en/

In addition, we recommend you to check the template notebook available at:

https://github.com/quantiacs/Q24-crypto-guide/blob/master/strategy.ipynb

Quantiacs provides a built-in filter for selecting the top crypto assets according to the "liquid" field as follows:

is_liquid = data.sel(field='is_liquid')

@green-flareon Thanks. The live phase of the Q23 is running. Quants can join any contest during the submission phase. Q24 is on.

@magenta-muskrat Hi, announcing soon.

@tim-hub Hi,

the template processing has not finished yet, it is on day by day processing (currently beginning of 2023). The reason of the error is that helper function tries to compare stat after 2022-08-31, which is not possible if processing date is 2020-01-01 for example. It doesn't affect the output (weights), and now you don't see this error because processing date is after 2022-08-31. If you had cloned the template and run it, the error would not have occurred.

@lookman The answer we sent to your e-mail address bounced back.

@tim-hub No, it is not. Obviously no payment can be done without providing coordinates.

@tim-hub Yes, you contacted us via mail at info@quantiacs.com

We replied you, and are waiting for your coordinates for the payment, which so far you did not deliver.

Please check your spam folder.
