Low Latency Trading Experience | IICPC x Amalthea 2026, IIT Gandhinagar
Low Latency Trading Experience | In collaboration with IICPC | Amalthea 2026, IIT Gandhinagar Learn from Ayush Kumar, founder of IICPC, live at IIT Gandhinagar. Join his keynote and Q&A (open to all students), then build your own order-matching engine in a hands-on session with the IICPC team. The Low Latency Trading Experience is a one-day, hands-on systems-programming session modelled on the kind of technical evaluations used by top quantitative trading and high-frequency trading (HFT) firms. You will implement one function, create_engine() , in a single file ( engine.cpp ) using the C++20 standard library only. An evaluation harness streams order events into your engine: limit and market orders, cancels, fill-or-kill and IOC orders, and self-trade prevention. The Three Stages Pass the visible unit tests. Match the reference matching engine on a hidden order stream. Go fast: correct engines appear on a live leaderboard ordered by latency (lower is better). Correctness comes first. Why Participate Industry-grade, hands-on exposure to low-latency software engineering Interact directly with IICPC founder Ayush Kumar, his engineering team and TAs Sharpen C++20, data structures and cache-optimisation skills Participants who perform well and share strong or novel ideas with the TAs may receive goodies (t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, tum…
