Challenge_Round_16

Create a Dashboard of Stock Dynamics

Challenge description:

You work in a hedge fund and every day you manually open different web-pages to collect information on stock price changes, trends and historical values for several ticker symbols. Carrying out this task manually is rather time-consuming and you decide it's time to automate this process.

Your task is to build a configurable component, with which you can programmaticaly access and retrieve (for instance, via GET Request) the time series data for a stock symbol of your choice. Because you intend to execute this component many times to retrieve time series data for many different stocks, make sure that in your component it's possible to specify any ticker symbol. Additionally, use the retrieved data to present the stock characteristics in a dashboard: trends, daily returns and other features of your choice. The dashboard must update if the ticker symbol changes.

When creating your dashboard, try to be creative about the information you present. For instance, one may be interested in properties of daily returns and may want to assign a coloring schemes to them, i.e. highlight the last return in red if it is negative and in green if it is positive. Or you may want to configure your component in a way that it requests more than one stock at a time and present a whole market dashboard.

Key requirement: you must retrieve time series data for a chosen stock symbol in a programmatic way, so that manual work is drastically minimized.

Outcome: 

Configurable component that retrieves time series data for any specified ticker symbol and presents retrieved data in a dashboard.
