Madx

Welcome to the first edition of Coding MADness!
 
In cooperation with Flow Traders, we have designed a frontend coding challenge for you. In teams of two, you will be competing for amazing prizes and the honour to call yourself the first winner of Coding MADness.
 
The challenge
Of course, we don't want to spoil too much of the challenge, but it's good to come prepared: We have created a virtual stock market with (fake) newsflashes/video's/internet-trolls, where you, as a virtual trader, will have to implement a trading dashboard in order to make the most profit. We will provide you with a working Vue.js/React/jQuery example and from that point on, you will have to do the rest.
For those interested in automation, we have a single rule: Each order must be placed with a mouse click.
 
Teams
The teams will consist of two players. You can email us your team preference (info@madx.nl) beforehand. But no worries, if you don't bring a teammate, we will make sure that you're paired up with a nice teammate. We even have a backup teammate available (to even out the teams).
 
Prizes
This event is made for fun, connecting people and sharing (development) insights!... No, just kidding, it's all about the money! Our main sponsor, Flow Traders, has decided to give away a total of € 1500,- in prize money, with € 500,- for the winning teams and € 250,- for the runner ups.
There will be 2 prize categories:
1. The trading team that makes the most profit during the finale.
2. The expert (jury) prize. We have arranged a team of three expert judges that will use their years of experience in the field to decide who has delivered the most original/promising/useful/useless dashboard. The judges are:
<UL>
<LI>Michael Lie, Head of Crypto Trading at Flow Traders</LI>
<LI>Anne Jon Schoonhoven, Senior Developer at Funda</LI>
<LI>Milan van den Bovenkamp, Designer, Initiator en Campaigner bij Online and Kicking</LI>
</UL>
