The problem TradeWise solves
The biggest threat to modern retail traders is unverified digital noise. Malicious actors use fake news to trigger artificial price spikes, leading uninformed investors into significant losses. TradeWise solves this by closing the "Verification Gap," providing an automated truth-filter that identifies high-risk information before an investor executes a trade.

Designing a buy/sell order flow without using a database, while still maintaining consistent application state.
Synchronizing frontend UI actions (Buy/Sell buttons, watchlist clicks) with backend order creation logic.
Ensuring user-specific data isolation and resetting state correctly on logout.
