Our History

Western Algorithmic Trading (WA) is Western’s newest finance club that currently has over 120 members. The club was first established in the summer of 2021 by a group of 3 Western students who were passionate about algorithmic trading. They recognized the lack of and need for a dedicated student organization that could provide them with the additional support and resources needed to pursue a career in algorithmic trading and finance.
