Personal Money Portfolio - snapshot 0.9a

Personal Money Portfolio - snapshot 0.9a

For the last few weeks, I've been working on the charting and fixing major bugs. After some late night works, we have improved a more readable chart and as well as a more informational portfolio.

It reminds me of the motivation of this project right from the start, it is to automate as much of the manual work as possible ... to make one investor's life less hassle! :P After all, repetitive monitoring work is not our core-business, so let the system handles it!!

Several improvement had been made over the historical chart in this new version:

1. Added a Simple Moving Average indicator which covered for 30, 50, and 100 days.
2. Separated the volume and candlestick into different dimension.
   

USDCAD


GBPUSD (one of my favorite)

There is also an easy to read portfolio allocation chart added in, to provide an overview on where your "bullets" are.

That's all for now, isn't much time left for blogging these days!

Snapshot 0.7

Snapshot 0.7

The major changes in version 0.7 is to resolve a few critical bugs in "open/close position" module, AJAX-implemented "business news" module and the new "currency chart".

This candlestick chart will draw the historical data over years, the draw back is slow in response. An average historical external feed will take out 1KB to 10KB+ bandwidth, although the JFreeChart perform drawing in a fair time, it still consider to be slow. 10KB x 1000 simultaneous requests will easily consumed around 10MB bandwidth of the server at one time (not including delay for each data fetch), a very powerful server is require to handle that kind of traffics.

Business news module had been improved it's performance greatly with an AJAX implementation.
