AUDSim

Inspiration

The stock market, I suppose. The name came because the only data I could find to test it with was Australian Foreign Exchange data. Go figure, huh?

What it does

Takes in historical tick data in a very specific format, and runs through it. Has an interface for connection. Interfaces with a secondary 'User' class which is instantiated and used in a main file.

How I built it

Hackathon, bro. No sleep, 24 hours of code. Or, I started at 11, so more like 12 or so hours of code. I'm high key about to pass out.

Challenges I ran into

Well, I managed to write code for nearly 9 hours straight and ran into nearly no issues. So, I'm about 99% sure I died and went to some form of Nirvanna. Either that or I fell asleep and this is all a dream.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Nearly five hundred lines of working code in 9 hours. Not too shabby, I'd say.

What I learned

The different types of ways to interface with the stock market, basically. I mean obviously this isn't optimal for a time-sensitive algorithm, but it has the underlying technology. It just needs more data, and, well, an algorithm.
