Stock market momentum condition application (Software developer and UI artist needed)
Project detail
Hello freelance community,
This is quick overview of what the software is meant to do and who the targeted user might be.
Small Cap Market Matrix, is meant to be standalone software / application, that would be focused on reporting or showing certain conditions present for current market. The input for that would be completely discretionary and manual, meaning that software itself would not read any data from market, it would be all manually inputted by owner. For example, if market momentum is weak, there would be one adjustable display factor in application that could be adjusted to weak/neutral/strong to display the right condition, therefore manually inputed. That manual input (done by owner) would then be shared on all the users of software, trough some quick database approach. Since not much data would be shared (some images, and words, no more than that) there would not be need for any high data streaming services.
Targeted user: Someone with interest in trading or investing in small capitalization stocks, which tend to have very cyclical behavior. Going from very strong to very weak market conditions in short amount of time, keeps many unaware of those and often placing wrong bets. This software would help to define what conditions are present to better calibrate trading or investing decisions for next several days especially.
The applications system would be divided into two sections, but generally the display of software should be as similar on each as possible. Main difference is just that owner-side has ability to adjust and change display conditions in application while the user does not.
Owner-end (host)
Backend with owners control and input:
Backend should have ability to change all the criteria that software would display, such as images, and certain pre set market conditions, ideally trough quickly selecting with mouse the pre-set conditions (so that they dont have to be typed out).
For example if market cools down, there should be ability in software to change market strength from 5 to 3, by just selecting “change score” and then the numbers from 1 to 5 would be displayed to pick the corresponding number of interest. Most functions should have such actions.
User-end:
Frontend with users ability to get updated information on it:
Users would get updated display of software as soon as that is published by owner (it should not take more than 1 minute for that to be updated, due to timing necessity for markets). User side of application does not need to update data frequently, technically once user logs into application that is it, and any updates should only update if they are pushed by owner side of application. However there could as well be perhaps 5 minute check mechanism implemented to check if users data is up to date with owners, to ensure there is no disconnect. But it should not be done too frequently to not cause unnecessary strain on data exchange or complicating the features of software, keeping it only minimalistic is quite important.
Attached file is rough concept of application. Targeted platform is desktop PC in initial version.
I am giving plenty of suggestions from developer that would be interested in terms of which server/hosting/data architecture might be best to choose. The application would as well need login window with credential inputed for user to connect.
Additionally last two images are added references of other softwares that might be used as idea for direction on GUI / UI art style direction and visualization.
Any examples of your previous work in similar area are highly beneficial in portfolio.
This is indie project therefore budget is somewhat limited but still adjustable depending on quality of applicant. Ideally looking for someone who is able to also dedicate time later for updating software on semi-regular basis if needed.
Please post as well your project rate for total prototype cost, or how many hours approx it might take for final project roughly.
