I’m looking to build a browser-based stock trading simulator for educational purposes. The platform will allow students to practice buying and selling equities using virtual money, with every feature designed to support learning—not real trading. Core Goals Teach stock market basics Demonstrate core trading strategies Introduce basic investment analysis Key Features User registration & login Virtual starting balance for each user Market and limit order placement (instant execution with virtual funds) Live or delayed price feeds (clearly marked for education) Dashboard showing: Open positions Trade history Real-time P/L Simple price charts Learning Hub with three educational modules aligned to the goals above Leaderboard to compare performance Admin access to: Reset user portfolios Update educational content Technical Requirements Web-only application (no mobile app) Modern frontend framework (React, Vue, or similar) Lightweight backend to store users, trades, portfolios, and leaderboards Clean UI focused on clarity, not flashy visuals Well-structured, commented, and maintainable code Responsive design for desktop and mobile browsers Easy deployment on a cloud host Deliverables Fully functional web app (runs locally and on cloud) Complete source code repository README with setup and deployment instructions Admin credentials and access Preferred Experience Prior experience with trading simulators, dashboards, or data-driven web apps Familiarity with financial data APIs is a plus Please include: Relevant past project links (if available) Recommended tech stack Estimated timeline I’m ready to move quickly once I find the right fit.
