Join us in the fight against SPARK!
In GSA's boardroom sits SPARK - a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA's journey.
SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.
But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA's internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...
Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.
For 21 days (23rd of November until the 13th of December) a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges.
The contestant deemed to have been most instrumental in the fight against SPARK will also be eligible to win a grand prize.
Sign up for SPARK today to prepare for the fight!
