Hi all,
*It's not too late to sign up for the GResearch Coding Challenge today at 5pm in the Computer Science Department Room 051. Non members are welcome to attend.*
A great event that everyone enjoyed last year, the coding challenge will pit small teams against each other to build the best stock trading program. Laptops are provided, along with a basic working program to get you started. No prior experience necessary.
Sign-up as a team of 4, or on your own and form a team when you arrive. *Please email GResearch (details below) to sign-up or just turn up and we'll do our best to fit you in.*
There will be plenty of food and drink after the event, as well as leading into our usual geek night.
Have a great week,
Matthew and the rest of the committee

G-Research Coding Challenge 2016 https://www.facebook.com/events/1798724137031670/
*Room 051, Department of Computer Science - 5:00pm Saturday (3rd week)*
G-Research is a well-established and rapidly growing firm with a leading platform for developing quantitative research and systematic investment ideas. We have created a community designed to inspire the best minds in the world to tackle the toughest intellectual challenges and deliver the best work of their careers. Our platforms and technologies are constantly evolving to meet the real-world scenarios we throw at them and we are seeking world-class software engineers to join us.
Can your code beat the markets?
Test your coding skills and systematic investment ideas on our simulated stock exchange. 1st place wins a £50 Amazon voucher for each member of your team, swag and other prizes for runners up!
Which team will turn the largest profit?
Here's a great chance to test your problem solving and coding skills, and to see what it's like to work in a dynamic, innovative environment on the cutting edge of finance and technology. Teams of three or four students will have one hour to devise and code their investment ideas to run on our simulated exchange.
Final strategies will be run through the exchange and will compete against other teams. Pizza and drinks afterwards, plus opportunities to network with current staff to find out more about life at G-Research.
*To register please either enter individually (any individual entries will be allocated into teams on the day) or in a team by sending names to graduates@gresearch.co.uk mailto:graduates@gresearch.co.uk.*
