The Trading Agent Competition (TAC) is an international forum designed to promote and encourage high quality research into the trading agent problem. TAC tournaments have been held annually since 2000.

TAC provides a forum for researchers to evaluate programmed trading techniques in a market scenario by competing with agents from other design groups. Over the past eight years, it has attracted participants from many institutions from dozens of countries around the world.

This site is maintained by the Association for Trading Agent Research as a repository for news, research reports, and other TAC-related materials. We hope you enjoy this site and are encouraged to take part in TAC.

The 2011 Trading Agent Competition was held in July, 2011 in Barcelona, Spain, in conjunction with IJCAI-11 and the workshop on Trading Agent Design and Analysis (TADA-11). TAC-11 featured the following games:
