About
Bruin Algorithmic Trading is a new club dedicated to bringing together motivated and like-minded individuals interested in algorithmic trading and quantitative development. As a club, we will work on hands-on projects and provide structured training for new members, covering key trading strategies such as momentum, mean reversion, EMA crossover, SMA-based trading, statistical arbitrage, and some other popular strategies. We will also hold paper trading contests to apply these strategies in a risk-free environment. The majority of our trading activities will be conducted through Interactive Brokers, a widely used brokerage platform known for its advanced trading tools and API access, allowing us to execute algorithmic strategies in a real-world setting. Many students have an interest in quantitative development but lack clarity on what it truly entails—our goal is to bridge that gap by working on realistic projects that offer practical experience and insight into the field.
The club's own words, from UCLA's directory (2025).
