Fast-fluctuating prices have made millionaires of a lucky few, and delivered crushing losses to others. Could some of these price movements have been predicted in advance?\n\nIn this competition, you'll use your machine learning expertise to forecast short term returns in 14 popular cryptocurrencies. We have amassed a dataset of millions of rows of high-frequency market data dating back to 2018 which you can use to build your model.

In addition, since 2018, interest in the cryptomarket has exploded, so the volatility and correlation structure in our data are likely to be highly non-stationary. The successful contestant will pay careful attention to these considerations, and in the process gain valuable insight into the art and science of financial forecasting.\n\n[G-Research] (https://www.gresearch.co.uk/) is Europe’s leading quantitative finance research firm.

You must accept the competition rules before this date in order to compete.\n- January 25, 2022 - Team Merger deadline. This is the last day participants may join or merge teams.\n- February 1, 2022 - Final submission deadline.\n\nAll deadlines are at 11:59 PM UTC on the corresponding day unless otherwise noted. The competition organizers reserve the right to update the contest timeline if they deem it necessary.\n\n### Forecasting Timeline:\nStarting after the final submission deadline there will be periodic updates to the leaderboard to reflect market data updates that will be run against selected notebooks. Updates will take place roughly every two weeks.\n\n- May 3, 2022 - Competition End Date - Winner's announcement", "isPublished": false, "hasIsPublished": false, "postTitle": "", "hasPostTitle": false, "mimeType": "", "hasMimeType": false }, { "name": "data-description", "content": "This dataset contains information on historic trades for several cryptoassets, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Your challenge is to predict their future returns.\n\nAs historic cryptocurrency prices are not confidential this will be a forecasting competition using the time series API. Furthermore _the public leaderboard targets are publicly available_ and are provided as part of the competition dataset. Expect to see many people submitting perfect submissions for fun. Accordingly, the active phase public leaderboard for this competition was not meaningful and was only provided as a convenience for anyone who wants to test their code. The forecasting phase public leaderboard and final private leaderboard will be determined using real market data gathered after the submission period closes.\n\n## Files\n\n* **train.csv** - The training set\n * `timestamp` - A timestamp for the minute covered by the row.\n * `Asset_ID` - An ID code for the cryptoasset.\n * `Count` - The number of trades that took place this minute.\n * `Open` - The USD price at the beginning of the minute.\n * `High` - The highest USD price during the minute.\n * `Low` - The lowest USD price during the minute.\n * `Close` - The USD price at the end of the minute.\n * `Volume` - The number of cryptoasset units traded during the minute.\n * `VWAP` - The volume weighted average price for the minute.\n * `Target` - 15 minute residualized returns. See [the 'Prediction and Evaluation' section of this notebook](https://www.kaggle.com/cstein06/tutorial-to-the-g-research-crypto-competition) for details of how the target is calculated.\n\n* **example_test.csv** - An example of the data that will be delivered by the time series API.\n\n* **example_sample_submission.csv** - An example of the data that will be delivered by the time series API. The data is just copied from **train.csv**.\n\n* **asset_details.csv** - Provides the real name and of the cryptoasset for each `Asset_ID` and the weight each cryptoasset receives in the metric.\n\n* **gresearch_crypto** - An unoptimized version of the time series API files for offline work. You may need Python 3.7 and a Linux environment to run it without errors.\n\n* **supplemental_train.csv** - After the submission period is over this file's data will be replaced with cryptoasset prices from the entire submission period. The current copy has been updated from the original and covers roughly 2/3 of the submission period.\n\n###Time-series API Details\n\n- Refer to [the time series introduction notebook](https://www.kaggle.com/sohier/detailed-api-introduction) for an example of how to complete a submission. The time-series API has changed somewhat from previous competitions!\n\n- Expect to see roughly three months worth of data in the test set. Until the forecasting phase of the competition, the API will just deliver a slice of the training data. \n\n- The API will require 0.5 GB of memory after initialization. The initialization step (`env.iter_test()`) will require meaningfully more memory than that; we recommend you do not load your model until after making that call. The API will also consume less than 30 minutes of runtime for loading and serving the data.\n\n- The API loads the data using the following types:\n Asset_ID: int8, Count: int32, row_id: int32, Count: int32, Open: float64, High: float64, Low: float64, Close: float64, Volume: float64, VWAP: float64\n", "isPublished": false, "hasIsPublished": false, "postTitle": "", "hasPostTitle": false, "mimeType": "", "hasMimeType": false }, { "name": "Prizes", "content": "* 1st Place - $50,000\n* 2nd Place - $20,000\n* 3rd Place - $15,000\n* 4th Place - $10,000\n* 5th Place - $5,000\n* 6th Place - $5,000\n* 7th Place - $5,000\n* 8th Place - $5,000\n* 9th Place - $5,000\n* 10th Place - $5,000", "isPublished": false, "hasIsPublished": false, "postTitle": "", "hasPostTitle": false, "mimeType": "", "hasMimeType": false }, { "name": "Code Requirements", "content": "\n\n### This is a Code Competition\n\nSubmissions to this competition must be made through Notebooks.
