Shares Portfolio Application

A local trader has come to you with a portfolio of shares. She wants to be able to analyse it more effectively. She has a small sample data set to give you and would like you to build a Minimum Viable Product that uses the data to display her portfolio so that she can make better decisions.

Project Background

• view total current value.
• view individual and total performance trends.
• retrieve a list of share prices from an external API and allow the user to add shares to her portfolio.
• View a chart of the current values in her portfolio.

Extensions
