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.
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.
Server-driven random-walk price engine feeds candles across six timeframes, streamed over WebSocket.
Buy/sell orders fill server-side at the engine's current price — margin, P&L, and position tracking all run in the backend.
Signup, login and sessions are real (bcrypt + JWT). Deposits and withdrawals write to a mock ledger — never a real payment processor.
Synthetic order book depth and a live trade tape recompute every tick so the terminal always feels alive.
Forex majors, metals, crypto and indices — each with its own volatility profile and contract size.
Every open position, close, deposit and withdrawal is persisted to a SQLite ledger you can audit.
