Stock board

This project originally started as a final project for high school. I wanted to build something that combined my interest in programming with my growing interest in the stock market, so I started with a simple stock dashboard written entirely in Python.

As I continued working on it, I wanted to see how far I could take the idea. I eventually rebuilt the project in C++ and began incorporating more complex, real-world financial equations and continuously updated market data. Instead of simply displaying stock prices, the system processes market information to identify trends and estimate potential stock movements.

The dashboard pulls real-time market data and uses that information alongside the calculations I built into the system to look for patterns and changes in individual stocks. The goal was to turn raw market data into information that was easier to understand and use when researching potential investments.

One of the features I wanted most was the ability to access my own investments without needing to use the same apps I normally use on my phone. I connected my personal stock and cryptocurrency accounts to the dashboard, allowing me to view my holdings and market information in one place.

I eventually used the dashboard during the school day as a way to keep up with the markets when I couldn't constantly be checking my usual investing apps. What started as a high-school programming assignment became a much larger project that combined C++, financial analysis, real-time data, and a practical tool I could actually use.
