Description

A Crowdsourcing Platform for Trading and Investment

This application is an intuitive social investment platform that uses the power of crowdsourcing and technology to help people learn risk-free trading and empower them to make better investment decisions.

Challenges

Our client had a goal of making investing fun and fruitful for average people. He came up with an idea to combine crowdsourcing and technology to help people make better investment and trading decisions. Our client decided to build a unique platform where users can learn how to trade, share their experience with others, and make money off real deals in the market. When the client came to RubyGarage, he already had the first version of the platform developed. But he wanted to significantly upgrade functionality and the development workflow. Faced with these challenges, he reached out to our team.

Our RubyGarage team was responsible for:

  • Streamlining the application development flow
  • Ensuring updatability of the application
  • Optimizing the app for mobile devices
  • Implementing communication functionality
  • Developing a trading simulator to teach users how to trade
  • Enabling users to buy and sell real stocks

Our team not only had to implement lots of new features but also wanted to make the application technologically advanced. We focused on delivering a reliable application that works flawlessly regardless of the number of users and that meets the toughest security standards.

In close collaboration with our client, we drew up a detailed project roadmap specifying the scope of work and the timeline.

Our team:

  • Adopted software development best practices such as an Agile methodology, test-driven development, and continuous integration and delivery to streamline the development flow
  • Switched to a domain-centric architecture to make the trading and investment platform easy to upgrade and maintain
  • Developed fully functional mobile applications for iOS and Android
  • Implemented a live chat with the support of multiple chat windows on one screen, group chats, and notifications
  • Built Sandbox, a trading simulator that imitates the behavior of the NASDAQ/NYSE exchanges and helps novices learn how to trade
  • Integrated the platform with complex APIs to allow users to trade on real markets
  • Developed analytical tools such as an Advanced Stock Screener and Stock Analyzer to provide helpful insights into stock markets

RubyGarage helped our client turn his amazing idea into a full-fledged application that helps people make successful investment decisions, collaborate with one another, learn from professional stock traders, and build a more prosperous future. Since its release, the platform has attracted thousands of users and raised more than $100 million in funding.

This investment and trading app is a unique social platform that not only unites people interested in trading but also educates them and trains them to make smart investment decisions. The application allows anyone to build their financial freedom by using the power of crowdsourcing.

Investment and Trading Platform

Founder of the investment
and trading platform

I want to say thanks to the RubyGarage team. Now I clearly understand that they are fully responsible for the success of the platform we’ve launched together.

I engaged the RG team, having an idea about the new product, paired with an improperly built first version. My goal was to rebuild the existing software significantly to create an easy and fun crowdsourcing platform for stock trading. And the RG people have jumped on the bandwagon, thoroughly analyzed the context, and then developed a specification of requirements.

The next was a lot of hard work. A plan they offered included a complete overhaul of the existing code. As a result, they delivered a well-established product that is loved by users and highly demanded by venture investors. I hope we’ll become a unicorn in the overseeable future.
