The Challenge

The major issues encountered were; real time price update for tickers(stocks/forex), chartIQ library modification for real time price draw, showing profit/loss with market price change of product and a pixel perfect UI that was demanded by the client.

High Level Solution

The issues were resolved by our team of experts using artificial intelligence algorithm like they used Pusher library for real time price update, for chartIQ library modification they dug library internal classes and created a html file and javascript methods for update. For showing profit or loss, the latest prices are known and accordingly the profit/loss is calculated after every 2-3 secs.
