Stock Trading Application Help - Introduction

Why a Stock Trading Application?

The purpose of developing a stock trading application goes far beyond demonstrating the ability of the TMS to handle stock trading. In a study by Auckland based law firm Hesketh Henry, 80% of stock trading firms stated that they planned to provide online access to stock trading.

This provides a huge platform and demand for this technology. However, the idea behind developing a stock trading application is to show that the TMS can handle the complex business logic and the general business environment demonstrated by the stock-trading example.

What this means for the potential customer is this:

Whatever system you can imagine, no matter how complicated or how big, the TMS can, or can be tailored, to make your application a reality.

The Stock Trading Application is an application that encompasses all facets of the TMS.

Another reason to produce a Stock Trading Application is the wide range of alternative applications that could be developed, based on the outline provided by the demonstration.

For example, with a few alterations, the application could be used to trade in commodities such as oil, gold, wheat etc. In theory it could be used to trade in anything, from baseball cards to automobiles or software, the options are endless.

So the aim of producing the Stock Trading Application is to ensure that the potential customer will have complete trust that whatever they ask of the TMS can be achieved.

In the next tutorial we cover getting started.
