CTrader
CTrader is a React-based currency trading simulator. The application uses a background worker once a day to fetch from an API populated with the most recent exchange rates from the Central European Bank. Users can use the conversion form to compare two different currencies and a line graph will update with data from the last week on the exchange rates between the two selected currencies. Users can also build multiple portfolios that monitor the currencies they currently own, trade between currencies, and see their potential profits.
