1. Introduction
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
Client Profile: SuperX Safe Investment
SuperX Safe Investment is a financial services company specializing in capital market analysis. They required a real-time monitoring solution to track stock price fluctuations and trading volume across multiple exchanges, enabling their analysts to make informed investment decisions quickly.
Challenges
