Simulated markets — 24 instruments, live-feeling price feed

Practice trading on a fully simulated market engine

VertexFX is a demo broker platform. Every price, candle, and order book is generated server-side — there is no real market data and no real money involved.

VertexFX is a fictional portfolio project. It is not a licensed broker, does not hold client funds, and does not execute real trades in any real market.

Platform

Everything a real terminal has — none of the real money

Built to demonstrate a full-stack trading platform: account system, live-feeling charts, an order engine, and a deposit/withdrawal flow — all backed by a real Node.js/Express server.

Live simulated charts

Server-driven random-walk price engine feeds candles across six timeframes, streamed over WebSocket.

Real order execution logic

Buy/sell orders fill server-side at the engine's current price — margin, P&L, and position tracking all run in the backend.

🔒

Real accounts, mock funds

Signup, login and sessions are real (bcrypt + JWT). Deposits and withdrawals write to a mock ledger — never a real payment processor.

📊

Depth & order flow

Synthetic order book depth and a live trade tape recompute every tick so the terminal always feels alive.

🧭

Four asset classes

Forex majors, metals, crypto and indices — each with its own volatility profile and contract size.

🗂

Position & order history

Every open position, close, deposit and withdrawal is persisted to a SQLite ledger you can audit.

Transparency

Clearly labeled, always

Demo platform — not a registered broker-dealer
Simulated data — not sourced from any real exchange
No real funds — deposits/withdrawals are mock ledger entries
Open source build — a full-stack portfolio project
Fictional company notice: VertexFX does not exist as a real financial institution. This site was built purely to demonstrate full-stack engineering — authentication, a simulated matching/pricing engine, and transactional flows. Do not send real funds to any address claiming to be VertexFX.
