Project Description
I want to launch a web-based virtual trading app that doubles as my personal portfolio. Visitors should be able to register, receive a virtual balance, and trade a live-updating selection of stocks or crypto in real time while, at the same address, learning about me and my previous projects.
The build has two tightly linked goals:
• Core app: a clean, responsive interface where users log in, track positions, review a transaction history, and see leader-board style performance metrics. Real-time or near real-time market data, basic charting, and simple order types (market, limit, stop) are a must.
• Portfolio layer: a personal “About Me” page, space for case studies, and contact details so prospective clients or employers can reach out directly from the site.
I’m comfortable with any modern stack—React + Node, Vue, Django, or another technology you prefer—as long as the user experience is fast on desktop and mobile and the codebase is easy to maintain. If you have a recommendation for data feeds or ready-made charting libraries, tell me how you would integrate them.
Please outline:
1. Your proposed tech stack and why.
2. A rough timeline with milestones (design, MVP trading engine, portfolio pages, final polish).
3. How you will handle security (auth, rate limits, protection for API keys).
I’ll provide brand colours, copy for the portfolio section, and the domain. Looking forward to seeing how you can turn this concept into a polished, production-ready site.
