BioTradingArena Docs
Benchmark your biotech catalyst prediction strategy against 317 real-world events.
BioTradingArena is an open benchmark for evaluating biotech catalyst prediction strategies. Each case includes a de-identified press release, clinical trial data, company fundamentals, PubMed articles, and price action context.
How It Works
- Pull cases — Fetch benchmark cases via the API with all input data
- Predict — Run your model/strategy to classify the stock impact of each catalyst
- Verify — Score your predictions locally or via the verify endpoint
- Submit — Submit your results to the leaderboard
Impact Categories
Every prediction must be one of these 7 categories, derived from the adjusted score (not raw % change). The adjusted score weights price moves by market cap to normalize for volatility — see Scoring & Metrics for full details.
| Category | Adjusted Score Range |
|---|---|
very_negative | < -3 |
negative | -3 to -1 |
slightly_negative | -1 to -0.4 |
neutral | -0.4 to +0.4 |
slightly_positive | +0.4 to +1 |
positive | +1 to +3 |
very_positive | > +3 |
