Mock stock trading app

An app to allow you to trade stocks and options without real money.

Getting Started

We first need a blank postgres instance running. If you have Docker, you can start one with the compose file, or you can modify the .env files to provide your own.

docker compose up -d 

Setup enviroments (optional)

Flask and React will connect to the default docker instance postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:54322/postgres. If you instead want to use your own docker provider, mofidy the connection strings here:

# frontend/.env
POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://***

# backend/.env
POSTGRES_URL=postgresql://***

Setup frontend & database migrations

cd frontend/
pnpm install
# Double check your blank postgres
# instance is running
pnpm db:migrate
pnpm db:seed

This will create the following user data:

• User: test@test.com
• Name: Test
• Password: admin123
• Tickers: NASDAQ stock symbols cache

Now build and run the backend

cd backend
python -m venv venv/
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Double check the database
# has been built via pnpm db:migrate
flask run

Finally, run the frontend

```bash
cd frontend/
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 to access the app.
