This document presents a technical proposal and case study for developing a Real-Time Dashboard for Capital Market Monitoring for SuperX Safe Investment. The solution enables the collection, processing, and visualization of financial data in real-time, providing actionable insights for investment decisions.
2. Proposed Architecture
The system consists of the following key components:
Azure Event Hubs – Collects and manages financial data streams.
Azure Functions – Extracts and preprocesses data from financial APIs.
Azure Cosmos DB – Stores data for fast access.
Power BI – Visualizes data in an interactive dashboard.
Threshold-Based Alerts – Notifies users about market volatility.
3. Data Flow
Data Collection: Azure Functions queries financial APIs (Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg) at regular intervals.
Data Transmission: The data is sent to Azure Event Hubs for processing.
Processing & Storage:
Azure Functions normalizes the data (conversion, cleaning, indicator calculations).
The data is stored in Azure Cosmos DB for fast querying.
Analysis & Alerts:
Volatility is calculated and compared against predefined thresholds.
Alerts are sent to users if thresholds are exceeded.
Visualization:
Power BI creates dashboards with charts showing stock prices and trading volume.
4. Utilized Technologies & Justification
Azure Event Hubs – Scalable and optimized for rapid data ingestion.
Azure Functions – Serverless model, efficient for data processing.
Azure Cosmos DB – High-performance storage for historical data.
Power BI – Advanced visualization capabilities and Azure integration.
5. Detailed Features
Interactive Dashboard: Real-time visualization of stock prices.
Filtering & Search: Users can select specific stocks or sectors.
Customizable Alerts: Notifications for high volatility.
Historical Data Storage: Analyze stock performance over time.
Multi-User Access: Personalized views and access levels.
6. Case Study: Implementation & Results
