Introduction

StockUp-Trading is a project made by Ian Mandap and Miguel Calderon that allows users to sign up and simulate trades of NASDAQ-100 listed stocks. Trades are made possible through an ordering system whereby upon order creation, the backend checks for matching buy/sell order pairs and executes the transaction.

The goal in building this app was to learn about test driven development through RSpec, advanced database associations (e.g. has_many :through association), callbacks, API integration, method scoping, and the skinny controller, and fat model concept.
