Alpha Signal Discovery Challenge

Discover novel alpha signals from obfuscated market data. Participants must build predictive models that generate uncorrelated returns across multiple market regimes. The dataset spans 5 years of multi-asset returns with engineered features — column names and asset identities are hidden to prevent data leakage.
