Paper Trading with Django, Python, HTML, Bootstrap, and yfinance!

Django_Trading

Stock Paper Trading website using Django and Bootstrap. The app allows users to create a portfolio of stocks in real time. The starting balance per new user created is $1 million dollars.

Overview

Progam languages mostly used: Django, python (for backend framework). Used HTML, Bootstrap for front end framework. To get live stock data I used Finnhub (for API), yfinance, and Plotly/Pandas.

How to Use

Once you've made an account by hitting signup on the home page, using Django Trading is simple! Use the portfolio tab to monitor the stocks you've bought and sell any. Use the search tab to find stocks, stock info, and to buy stocks. Click the leaderboard tab to monitor other users, and that's about it.
