Trading Platform Frontend

Trading platforms connect their users with market data and trading functions for different financial instruments. Before prices are displayed and orders are placed, such an application needs an interface that reliably handles login and users and presents data clearly.

In this project, DuoByte built that foundation: the frontend of a trading platform that covers login, user management and data views and is structured for connecting market data and trading functions.

In financial trading, the demands on an interface change as soon as real data flows. Real-time prices update continuously, and order entry differs from one financial instrument to another. A frontend that does not account for this from the beginning often has to be largely rewritten when it is extended.

The task was therefore not just to design screens. Components and interfaces had to be set up so market data APIs and trading functions can be added without breaking the existing structure. The frontend also needed secure authentication and an interface that works equally well on desktop and mobile devices.

The frontend covers the features a trading application needs regardless of how it connects to the market. The UI components and interfaces required for real-time market data and order placement are already in place.

Specific market data APIs and trading functions can be connected on this foundation without rebuilding the existing views. The feature set at a glance:

The application is built with React and TypeScript. In a financial context, type safety is more than a convenience: the prepared interfaces define the shape of the data passed to components. When a market data API is connected, the compiler checks whether its data matches these interfaces.

The modular architecture separates reusable components from individual views. New trading features can be added as separate modules instead of reworking existing sections.

Tailwind CSS, on top of HTML5, provides a consistent, responsive layout. Because styling lives directly with the components, the look stays consistent as new modules are added.

The result is a frontend with login, user management, filtering and sorting that works on desktop and mobile devices. It is the foundation a complete trading application can build on.

Real-time market data and trading functions can be connected to the prepared components and interfaces. Further development builds on typed, modular code that can be extended without reworking the existing interface.
