The problem Folio solves

Folio is an application that tracks the health of your Stock Portfolio and Forecasts it for a Short, Medium, and Long Term hence giving you a deeper understanding of how safe your money is.

Picking Stocks can be hard and so Folio auto-predicts the Day, Week, and Month closing of the Top 50 Stocks of India Listed on the NSE.

To simplify it, Folio answers the following questions:

• How safe is my Portfolio?
• Is this the correct time to Book Profits?
• Should I Buy a particular stock?
• Which stock will perform well in a particular timeframe?

Folio is made for the New Investors and Traders in the Stock Market who have the funds, and have the means but do not know where the money should go.

Challenges we ran into

Server hosting was one of the biggest challenges. With a team working remotely, Django Server hosted locally serves no purpose. So while one member was handling the server, the other member could not access the data.

Since we use libraries such as Tensorflow and Keras, hosting it remotely burns a hole in the wallet and so is not feasible.

This problem was solved using Port Forwarding Techniques via NGROK. The server developer hosted the server locally and activated NGROK and so using NGROK's address, the other member was able to communicate with the locally hosted server.

To summarize, we used port forwarding to convert one laptop into a server.
