Stonks!

Inspiration

• The learning curve is steep for users new to trading stocks, takes time to research and to maintain!
• COVID-19 has brought on the loss of jobs, passive income or existing savings is important to sustain living standards.

What it does

• 3 different mathematical algorithms to automate stock trading, allowing users to customize based on risk tolerance level
• ability to simulate with paper money before committing to the selected trading algorithm
• simple UI to abstract away hard to understand information from complicated finance stock sites, easy to understand for beginners
• recommended stocks based on stocks users is currently interested in
• newsfeed for market updates
• Please note we are currently unable to establish a backend server connection to our stock prediction algorithm, however, all data is based on actual data generated by our algorithm

How we built it

• React
• Python
• Javascript

Challenges we ran into

• It was all of our first time building a site purely off of React!
• It was difficult learning the syntax and piecing things together.
• Difficult to link backend algorithm to frontend.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

First time learning React! We are proud to be able to add as many details as we did to showcase our core features.

What we learned

• How to build a responsive site through React
• React syntax
• How to generate graph data using React
• How to style using React
• Different methods for predicting stock market buy/sell
• Python algorithms for the decision to buy/sell stocks
• How to use API libraries

What's next for Stonks!

Our team is looking into learning how to establish a python backend server to create a fully functional automatic bot to stock trade.

Built With
