Abstract
4170 Trading, a proprietary trading firm based in Chicago, primarily transacts in fixed-income cash, futures, and options markets with both actively managed and algorithmic trading strategies. The business project dwells on three major topics which were web development, data analysis, and financial modeling. Using these topics we created a web application modeling crucial financial information as requested by the traders in the company. The project began by gathering information on which data was needed and gathering intel on the specific functions the traders found to be most essential. From this research, the main backend functions of gathering, displaying, and analyzing data were created. These functions were tested and then placed in the application. On the front-end, the main focus was the organization as the company prioritized user-friendliness, accessibility, and aesthetics. Overall, creating an efficient and effective web application that will help the firm maintain a competitive edge across the globe.
