An Online Stock Investment and Trading Portal. Drag, Drop, and Trade in Real Time.

/ The engagement

A Feature-Rich Trading Portal with Real-Time Stock Data.

A well-established online stock and derivatives trading firm wanted a portal for portfolio management and investment schemes. Brainvire built the portal with PODS and advanced AJAX, an interactive drag-and-place layout that auto-saves per user, RSS-driven dynamic content, streaming video alerts, and real-time stock information, all balanced across servers for scale and secured for user data.

/ The approach

Design, architecture, and features, shipped as one program.

/01Load

Spread with proxy

Many integrated features had to run together under steady load, so a reverse proxy spread traffic across servers and added routing, caching, and SSL encryption.

/02Data

Stored at scale

Large volumes of data needed robust storage, so the team used SQL and NoSQL databases with cloud warehouses like Azure Data Lake and Amazon Redshift.

/03Visualization

Easy to read

Data had to read clearly, so the analyst team built visualizations and dashboards that give a full view of market and trading trends.

/04Analysis

Real-time insight

The portal had to process heavy market data, so descriptive analytics summarized it with frequency tables, statistics, and correlation analysis for real-time insight.

Load balancing

Harmonizing the simultaneous execution of many integrated features while holding a consistent load balance was hard. A reverse proxy spread traffic across multiple servers and added routing, caching, and SSL encryption to keep the portal responsive.

Data management

Managing a large amount of data is a real challenge for a trading portal. The team used robust SQL and NoSQL databases and leveraged cloud data warehouses such as Azure Data Lake and Amazon Redshift to store the volumes.

Data visualization

Presenting data in an easy-to-understand, visually appealing format was a challenge. The analyst team built a variety of visualizations and dashboards that give a comprehensive view of market and trading trends.

Data analysis

To give investors real-time insight and recommendations, the portal had to process and analyze large amounts of market data. Descriptive analytics summarized the data and uncovered patterns with frequency tables, statistics, correlation analysis, and other visualizations.
