D6 Project:
Stock Portfolio Heads Up Display (HUD System)
Embedded Files
Idea: To create a homegrown stock market heads up display with real-time information on positions and holdings, overall market health and relevant news.
- Components:
- Real Time Data Stream Handler: TD Ameritrade API
- Front Facing GUI: Node.Js
- Backend: MongoDB? / Considering a Neo4j DB
- Deploy on Flash or Heroku
- In contact with a Reddit contributor who has done a similar project. Asking for tips/advice
- Phase 1: Data Feed Handler using TD Websockets
Prototype Contributions:
- Created a C++ Data Feed Handler from TD Ameritrade that pulls historical data on a stock and/or portfolio and returns values that are relevant to investment execution
- Utilized libcurl to make web requests and pull it as a string which then had to be delimited and manipulated to get the proper data fields.
- Full code can be found on my GitHub
- This was too easy to do in Python so I did it in C++. Dynamic vs Static
- Sort of a nuisance having to do things in C++ but taught me a lot about C++'s web requests process and got me thinking about how industry-grade software is written in an Object Oriented Manner rather than Python's scripting mentality.
- Only thing left to do is create an Execute_Trade class that based on a given threshold being met for a stock or portfolio, send an trade execution request to the TD API.
- Last part for UI/UX purpose would be to create a Node.JS interface that ties it all together with a pretty bow.
