As part of my work at NewCo, a algorithmic trading company, I designed two projects that exemplify expertise in crafting intuitive and effective user interfaces. The first is a sophisticated system for trading in the stock market, providing a comprehensive view of current financial status. The second is a dual-purpose interface that enables seamless initiation of algorithmic stock trades and simulations to test strategies. Both projects balance complex functionalities with user-friendly design, ensuring a smooth and engaging user experience.
Introduction
The Problem
Internal management of investments in an algorithmic trading company is complex. Team members face difficulties in tracking and analyzing data, hindering efficient decision-making. Moreover, integrating these insights into the investor's portfolio adds another layer of challenge, risking delays and errors. Additionally, traders and researchers need a platform that allows them to easily start trades with a set of configurations and modify these settings seamlessly. The same requirements apply to running simulations.
The Solution
The system simplifies internal investment management with a robust simulator and real-time data analytics dashboard. Team members can easily access and analyze investment data, facilitating informed decision-making. Seamless integration into investor portfolios ensures timely updates and accuracy. Additionally, the platform enables traders and researchers to start and adjust trades and simulations with configurable settings, enhancing both live trading and strategy testing.
Competitive Analysis
Market research conclusions
Broker platforms often provide valuable resources such as real-time market data, research reports, and analytical tools.
Users can track their entire portfolio's performance, including gains, losses, and asset allocation, through a single, easy-to-use dashboard.
New users may find broker platforms overwhelming due to the sheer volume of available features and tools, which can be intimidating for beginners.
The abundance of data, charts, and analytical tools can lead to information overload, making it difficult for users to focus on essential aspects of trading.
User Research
Persona 1- David Haim (Developer)
