A multithreaded, socket-based C++ stock trading platform. This project models real-time stock updates, order management, and client-server communication. Designed for extensibility and performance, the system incorporates modern C++ programming practices and testing using Google Test.
- Stock Management: Real-time stock price updates and price history tracking using Brownian motion.
- Order Management: Support for buy/sell orders with validation.
- Multithreading: Independent threads simulate real-time stock price updates.
- Socket-Based Communication: Traders connect to the server to place orders and query stocks.
- Portfolio Optimization: Risk toleration algorithm suggests the best stocks for the trader.
- Unit Testing: Verified using Google Test to ensure correctness and stability.
- C++
- Google Test: Unit Tests
- Mutex: Thread safety and synchronization
- Pthread: Multithreading support
- Sockets: TCP/IP Network Communication
- CMake: Build system generator
- Valgrind: Memory leak checker
