Build the Bots. Win the Battle.

This is the official Kick-off for Battle of the Bots - a high-stakes, real-market trading competition happening this September, hosted by BitMEX and ProfitView with support from industry partners.

In the Battle of the Bots, automated trading Bots will be deployed competitively by hundreds of Traders seeking PnL, prizes - and a lot of fun.

Before the bots go head-to-head, we need teams to build them - and that’s where you come in.

If you’re a:

  • 🧠 Software developer

  • 📈 Quantitative thinker

  • 📊 Crypto trader or strategist

  • 📡 Data junkie

…this is your chance to meet like-minded builders, form a team, and prepare to compete.


What’s Happening at the Kick-off

This event is your gateway to:

  • Meeting teammates and forming a bot-building squad

  • Learning the competition format, tech stack, and rules

  • Seeing how to build BitMEX trading bots with ProfitView

  • Talking directly to sponsors, mentors, and organisers

  • Eating pizza, drinking beer (thanks BitMEX!), and joining a serious algo crowd

We’ll also help with team matchmaking based on your strengths - whether you're a Python coder, quant researcher, or strategy wizard.


Why Compete?

If your team is selected for the Main Event in September:

  • 🔧 You’ll have 6 hours coding to fine-tune your bots in a final sprint before the Battle begins

  • 🚀 Your bots will be deployed by over 200 real traders during a 4-hour live trading showdown on BitMEX — while you watch it all play out

  • 🏆 Top bots and top traders will win significant prizes (yes, both)

  • 🌐 You'll gain visibility, career opportunities, and direct access to sponsors and recruiters

  • 🎮 Think: the trading floor meets E-sports — fast, streamed, competitive, and very real
