Users select one or more commodities and are shown historical information about their selection. Since a commodity has multiple values throughout a day, I anticipate using only one or more of the close price, minimum, or maximum price.
Commodity Analyzer will use the Quandl API to access stock and commodity data.
- As a first feature, users are able to view a first chart of time-series information related to one or more selected commodities. Displayed information includes at least price information.

The following technologies will be used for this project:
- Vanilla Javascript
- chart.js for charting information
- Quandl API for accessing stock and commodity data
- Webpack for bundling
It is anticipated that there will be 4 scripts in addition to the webpack entry file:
- chart.js - the standard chart.js library for charting
- stock_api_util.js - a script for constructing one or more requests to the Quandl API based on a user selected stock, commodity, or combination thereof
- chart1.js - a script for creating a line chart based on the user selected input that displays either a chart of time vs. price or time vs. the result of the mathematical expression
- implement a basic chart.js time-series chart from static data
- Make the chart look good: zooming, have ticks, have it scale appropriately (especially when zooming)
- Receive data based on user input of only 1 stock or commodity
-
Add volume or additional stock indicators (RSI, etc.) to chart1
-
A statistical analysis will be performed on the data, and a second chart will show a probability mass function that plots the probability of a value vs. the value.
