Inspiration
Training need for finance students and investors.
What it does
It tracks the real stock prices with the help of blackrock APIs. Customer can register account with email / google, then perform a series of transactions to real stocks with virtual money.
How we built it
The backend is hosted in firebase. Most program logic are implemented with JavaScript.
Challenges we ran into
All those API traffic need to be done asynchronously. We wrote a plenty of ECMAScript with promise operation to handle those operations carefully.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This is the first time for us to hack a full-stack project in 36 hours! We really love this hackathon.
What we learned
Have a look at the third party APIs, their service may not be exactly what you want!
What's next for Mock Trading
Many things to do: better UI, scalability, and so on.
