Having just started investing in the stock market and with the goal of learning react.js, I spent a summer developing a stock exchange trading assistant using the Yahoo Finance API. After developing this application, I truly learnt the basics of react web development and was able to lead a group of 6 members to develop their own version of this project hosted here. Both projects was built up from scratch to consist of the following features:
- Watchlist of favorite stocks (locally saved)
- Table displaying the top gainer/losers/highest volume traded
- Desktop notifications when a stock is hits a certain price
- Recent News tab with a search bar to search for stock-specific news
- A game testing investment knowledge: you start with $1000 and are given a random month and year to put all you have into one stock, which stock would you pick to maximize rewards.
The application is hosted here, but has been disconnected from the API.
