Trading used to be a world for experts, a high-stakes game mostly played by brokers and experienced investors. Decades ago, you needed a deep understanding of market trends, special data access, and connections in the financial world to get involved. But things have changed. Today, thanks to new technology and trading apps, investing has become something anyone can try. Now, with just a smartphone, people can trade in real-time, making the stock market accessible to all. However, for beginners, the world of trading can still feel complex and risky. To help bridge this knowledge gap, a financial education company approached us. They wanted to create a platform where new traders could safely learn how the stock market works without the risk of losing real money. We brought this vision to life with 'Chart Champs', a custom-built platform that uses simulated trading tournaments to teach the basics of stock trading. Now, aspiring traders can learn by practicing in a competitive, risk-free environment, gaining valuable skills while building their confidence.
Challenges that we faced
Our team was tasked with developing a platform that could simulate real-time trading conditions while ensuring users remained engaged and motivated to learn. Given the client's objective of providing realistic market experiences without risk, we knew we needed to innovate.

The platform required a foundation of sophisticated services, including:
Simulated Trading in Real Market Conditions: To provide an authentic trading experience, we integrated third-party financial APIs to use historical market data, giving users a taste of real-world fluctuations without financial risk. This risk-free simulation empowers users to explore, learn, and refine trading strategies, enhancing their understanding of real market dynamics.
Tournament-Based Learning for User Retention: Our team focuses on making learning fun and engaging, so we designed tournaments that encourage friendly competition. Users can pay a small entry fee to join, compete, and even win based on their results—creating a mix of learning and motivation. By building these engaging features, we help our clients keep users interested and coming back, making the experience more enjoyable and rewarding for everyone.
Seamless Payment Integration: We used Stripe to handle payments, which made it easy for users to join tournaments. With our experience in setting up secure payment systems, we created a smooth process that lets users participate without hassle. This helped our client earn revenue while keeping entry costs affordable for users.
Technology we used
To create a responsive and high-performance platform, we applied a cutting-edge technology stack:
Frontend Technologies
We used React.js and Next.js to build a smooth user interface, ensuring users enjoy an intuitive, fast-loading experience across devices.
Backend & Database
We implemented Nest.js for managing tournament logic and user authentication, while MongoDB provided a reliable database for storing user profiles, tournament data, and transaction history.
Scalable Design
With our flexible system design, the platform can manage multiple tournaments that start and end at different times. As the platform expands, we can easily add real-time market simulations without needing major changes.
Collaboration and Implementation
Throughout the project, our team of developers, designers, and data analysts worked closely together to reach our goals. We followed a step-by-step approach to complete each part of the project:
