Stockpilot

The problem

StockPilot is a paper trading simulator for stocks, ETFs, and crypto.

What I built

> Paper trading only. StockPilot is not a broker, does not execute real trades, and does not provide financial advice.

How it works

• Vite + React 18 + strict TypeScript for a fast client build.
• React Router for deep-linkable routes.
• TanStack Query for market data cache and polling.
• Zustand plus IndexedDB for local paper-account state.
• Lightweight Charts is included for production chart replacement; the current chart component uses an accessible SVG fallback for deterministic CI.

Tradeoffs and limits

This project does not currently have a hosted demo. Run and verification instructions live in the repository when available.

What I learned

StockPilot is a React, Vite, and TypeScript paper trading simulator for stocks, ETFs, and crypto. It gives users simulated cash, provider-backed market data boundaries, watchlists, charts, education, and a deterministic paper order engine without KYC, bank linking, payments, or brokerage integrations.
