Inspiration
As Computer Science and Economics students, we saw a need for a Portfolio management system that allows easy imports of your investments, allowing you to see a total view of your portfolio, without having to add it up yourself.
What it does
Our platform allows users to search companies via their ticker symbols, displaying trends in prices, with basic indicators, as well as Relative Strength Index (RSI), Method of Moments (MOM), and Moving Averages.
How we built it
We used Python scripts to download csv files from Alpha Vantage for different companies. Using those files, we used the Dropbase API to upload them to the Dropbase Database. We then used Node.js as our backend in querying from the database and receiving stock statistics, which was passed to our front end in React.
Challenges I ran into
It was difficult integrating the new Beta Dropbase API, that required some workarounds to upload data.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We are proud of how much we accomplished over 24 hours and how much we learned using NodeJS, React, and REST APIs.
What's next for Stockroach
We would love to continue integrating new features, allowing for exporting a user's portfolio to a spreadsheet, and integrating more importing features.
