This project allows users to access real-time prices to simulate the trading of stocks within a portfolio.
Users have the ability to create accounts, each of which start out with $10,000 in cash. Then, users have the option to look up stock prices, buy and sell stocks, and view a history of their previous transactions in order to build their portfolio. Users also have the ability to add in additional cash manually in order to increase their portfolio value.
