Confirms the interest in the contest and one of the participants – Jan Nikiforov (company “IT Plan”): “The idea of creating robots for the competition of the Russian market rather new and exotic. However, interest in participating in the securities market to our products said that in Russia is quite a serious demand for this type of service – the creation of automated trading systems.
