Trading Challenge
The Flow Traders Trading Challenge gives you the opportunity to understand our trading strategies. A senior trader will be presenting and analyzing real world examples of products and market strategies to help you understand more about trading. During the challenge you will compete against your team members for the best trades and therefor the highest personal revenue. Not only do you get the chance to show your problem solving and numerical skills but you will also get rewarded for your competitive attitude if you succeed and win the trading challenge. The most eager participants who match the Junior Trader profile will be added to the Flow Traders Talent Pool. Members of the Talent Pool will be invited for Flow Traders Student activities during the academic year. After the challenge there will be a lunch where you will meet our Traders and have the opportunity to ask all of your questions concerning the Junior Trader position and Flow Traders.

How did you become a Flow Trader?
I took part in The In-House Days organized by Tilburg University. Here, my passion for trading was sparked. The Netherlands only has a couple of trading firms and I created a short-list, with Flow Traders in first place.
How long have you been part of the team?
Since April 2013, so about two years now.
What depicts a typical Flow Trader?
Punctuality should be one of his main characteristic; addressing challenges adequately and completing them with confidence. He should also have strong analytical skills.
What makes you happy?
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with friends and family.
What keeps you awake at night?
Work, although not very often anymore.
Sunday morning?
Staying in bed, spending time with my son Jantje.
Anything you would bring to a desert island?
Good food. And alcohol, it might be nice to have a drink!
What do you have lying on your bedside table?
Nothing at the moment. Previously, maybe an alarm clock and Quote.
Which music is currently blasting through your speakers?
I am really not that into music. I just listen to whatever is played by others.
Do you have any plans for the future?
Right now I have a one-track mind: being the best at trading. At some point I see myself moving on in the financial world. I might not be actively trading anymore, but I would like to still be involved somehow.
What was the last time you laughed out loud?
No idea. I have to dig deep to answer this one. I am really bad at remembering jokes.
