In-Depth Project Detail
Project Overview
Flux Trading is a state-of-the-art paper trading simulation platform designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical market experience. It provides a risk-free environment where aspiring traders can execute trades across multiple asset classes—including Cryptocurrencies, Stocks, Forex, and Futures—using real-time market data.
The Challenge
Building a trading platform requires handling massive amounts of data with minimal latency. A delay of a few seconds can mean the difference between profit and loss in the real world. My goal was to replicate this high-stakes environment in a browser-based application, requiring optimized data fetching, state management, and re-rendering strategies.
Technical Implementation
I architected the application using Next.js to leverage server-side rendering for the initial load and SEO. For the live market data, I integrated multiple financial APIs and utilized WebSockets to push real-time updates to the client. This ensures that the price charts and order boks are always synchronized with the global market.
The backend handles the complex logic of order matching. When a user places a "Limit Order" or "Stop Loss", the server continuously monitors the price feed. Once the conditions are met, the order executes instantly, updating the user's portfolio balance and transaction history.
Key Features & Modules
- Universal Market Access: Trade thousands of assets from a single unified dashboard.
- Advanced Charting: Integrated TradingView-style charts with customizable indicators (RSI, MAXD, Bollinger Bands).
- Portfolio Analytics: Visual breakdown of asset allocation, daily P&L, and historical performance.
- Trading Academy: A gamified learning module that rewards users for completing lessons on market fundamentals and technical analysis.
Future Roadmap
The next phase of development involves adding social trading features, allowing users to follow and copy the trades of top performers on the leaderboard. I am also exploring the integration of AI-driven market sentiment analysis to provide traders with predictive insights.
