Build a Stock Market Portfolio Management Web App
Create a platform where investors can manage their stock portfolios, track live prices, calculate real-time profit/loss, visualize stock performance, and make better trading decisions.Individual investors often struggle to track their stock holdings across multiple brokers, analyze real-time profits, visualize portfolio performance, and optimize trading decisions. Managing investments manually or via spreadsheets becomes inefficient and error-prone.
Create a web app where users add their stock holdings (purchase price, quantity, date), fetch real-time stock market data via APIs, calculate live profit/loss metrics, visualize portfolio diversification, and generate performance reports to guide investment strategies.
Real-Time Profit/Loss Tracking
Calculate and display real-time profit or loss percentages and absolute values for each stock and overall portfolio.
Portfolio Diversification Analysis
Visualize stock holdings distribution by sector, asset class, or country to optimize risk management.
Historical Performance Reporting
Generate charts showing portfolio value trends over time and compare against major stock indexes (e.g., S&P 500, Nifty 50).
Alerts and Watchlist Tracking
Set custom price alerts and monitor watchlisted stocks separately for better trade decision-making.
Users register and manually input their stock holdings, including ticker symbol, quantity, and buying price. The app fetches real-time stock prices via financial APIs. It dynamically calculates unrealized gains/losses, portfolio performance, and suggests rebalancing based on custom rules.
- Users add each stock they own with purchase details into their portfolio.
- Live stock prices are fetched through APIs and matched to user holdings.
- Dashboard calculates real-time gains/losses and displays performance charts.
- Users set price alerts for specific stocks or receive diversification recommendations.
- Monthly and yearly reports summarize overall performance and suggest optimization tips.
