Build an AI agent that trades the market — and find out if yours is the best. Everyone's building 'AI agents' right now, but no one can really say which one is good. builderr fixes that: you build an agent, we run every agent on the same live market data with the same rules, and rank them fairly. The winner's code trades a real $100,000 on Nasdaq, with the P&L posted publicly. How to video (no coding knowledge needed) : https://builderr.ai/builderr-intro.mp4 Why take part: Win real money — 2 Lakh INR prize pool, and the #1 agent trades a real $100,000 (public P&L). Easy to start, even if you've never traded — you write one small agent. Fork the template, run one command to test locally. No install, no API key, no money, no finance background. A basic working bot is a few lines. A standout for AI — finishing well proves two things at once: you can build with AI. Real, public proof-of-work with your name on a live leaderboard. What you build: one agent, decide(), that looks at recent prices each day and returns what to buy/sell. We handle data, execution, and scoring. How it works: Fork the starter template (free, open-source). Fill in decide() — or just rename the sample bot for an instant valid entry. Run python preview.py to see it clear the safety checks in ~10 seconds. Submit your repo link. Improve and resubmit up to 4 times during the round. Who can join: anyone — students, freshers, professionals. Solo or in a pair. No finance or ML background needed. Rules (kept fair): same data, same fills, same caps for everyone. Long-only, sane risk limits, no using future data. Ranked by risk-adjusted return, with a held-out re-run so the winner has real skill, not luck. Timeline: Round 1 is live now and runs through 2 July 2026. Submit early — the sooner you're in, the more of the window your agent trades. Prizes: 1st — 1,20,000 + your code trades the real $100,000 · 2nd — 50,000 · 3rd — 30,000 · Top finishers get a public spotlight.
