Stock Simulate Transactions Endpoint

[theDe-bugger]

Description

We need an endpoint that allows us to simulate a list of transactions for a given stock.

• You may also make this as a function instead of an endpoint that the other endpoints can simply call to perform the calculations

Stock Based Endpoint:

We need to make GET request!

Endpoint

'/api/stock/simulate'

Params

• stock ticker
• [transactions]
• capital (in xx.xx dollars)

Return

• optimize the capital to invest the money and make the most profit
• ie; if it makes sense to invest a lot the first time and sell it all, do that. if it makes more profit to buy some at the start, sell half, and then buy a little more later, do that.
• going to require some logic.
  - return total profit made and an updated list of transactions mentioning how much was sold/bought at each transaction

Example Call
