Market Master: Financial Simulation Platform

Abstract

This article introduces the Stock Market Simulator, a feature-rich software that simulates stock market dynamics and gives users a safe and realistic platform on which to practise stock trading. Important elements including user registration, stock buying and selling capabilities, and a dynamic market simulation are all included in the simulator._x000D_ The simulator's dynamic stock market simulation, which features several stock entities with unique symbols, beginning prices, and quantities, is its core functionality. The random daily price changes of these equities give an accurate picture of market volatility. The "Display Stock Prices" option allows users to_x000D_ display the stocks that are currently available, together with their current pricing andquantities. In addition, the simulator includes a one-day market simulation that lets users see how daily pricechanges affect their portfolios. The dynamic character of the_x000D_ simulated market is enhanced by the system's random decision-making process, which determines whether to start buy or sell transactions for each stock during the simulation. Users may examine the outcomes of these simulated transactions, giving them a thorough picture of the performance of their portfolio._x000D_ The Stock Market Simulator represents a comprehensive educational tool designed to immerse users in the intricacies of simulated stock trading. Rooted in the C++ programming language, the simulator blends technical sophistication with user-centric design to provide a realistic and risk-free environment for individuals seeking to enhance their financial literacy and experiment with stock trading strategies._x000D_ The simulator's foundation lies in its object-oriented design, encapsulating entities such as users and stocks in classes, promoting code organization and reusability. Leveraging the Standard Template Library (STL), the simulator_x000D_ efficiently manages data structures like vectors and maps, crucial for representing stock collections and user portfolios. Random daily price fluctuations, facilitated by the std rand() function, introduce an element of unpredictability, mirroring the dynamics of real-world financial markets.
