Get Started!

---

To get started with the CF Stonks Market, follow the following instructions to register your account and start trading!

1. Temporarily change your first name to "StonksCF-verify" in your CodeForces social tab at https://codeforces.com/settings/social
2. Register your CF Stonks account at our Register tab
3. Login your account at our Login tab
4. Good luck, Have fun, and start trading!

Here are some tips on the game mechanics to aid you in the process :D

• You are initially given 200 stocks of your own CodeForces account with $10,000 starting cash.
• Each person's stock is based on their current CodeForces rating, and automatically updated after each rated contest. However, note that promoting into a new division greatly increases the stock price (20% boost), so a Expert 1899 stock is much cheaper than a Candidate Master 1900 stock. The exact formula is price = 1.2^rank * rating / 100 where rank is the number of ranks above Newbie.
• You cannot buy a stock from an account that has taken less than 6 contests because it has not converged yet according to the CF rating system.
• Sell your stocks! Don't just hog all of your own stocks. The point of the game is to have fun :D, and there's no fun in only having your own stock.

Hello. I am an active Competitive-Programmer who has been doing USACO since 7th grade. You can find more about me on my personal website. This project is greatly inspired by the USACO server nimbus bot, built by NotDeGhost and idea by Caoash. Don't take things here too seriously, this is really just a fun game to spice up the CodeForces experience. If you have any suggestions/want to contribute to this project too, open an issue/pull request on GitHub HERE. I will try to get them to ASAP :D.
