System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: meteor-copy

1. Introduction

Welcome to the System Requirements Document (SRD) for meteor-copy, a cutting-edge copy trading platform tailored for brokers managing client accounts. This document outlines the system's functional and non-functional requirements, user personas, visual design concepts, technical stack, and other critical elements necessary for the development of this platform.

The goal of meteor-copy is to empower brokers with tools for real-time trade mirroring, performance tracking, and seamless client management, ensuring a secure and efficient trading experience. Designed with the Nigerian market in mind, the platform will incorporate locale-specific considerations such as currency (NGN), timezone (WAT), and user preferences.

2. System Overview

meteor-copy is a web-based platform that enables brokers to manage client accounts and execute trades that are mirrored in real time across their clients' portfolios. The system will feature:

• Real-time trade mirroring: Brokers can execute trades that are instantly replicated across client accounts.
• Performance tracking: Detailed analytics and reporting tools to monitor trading performance.
• User dashboards: Intuitive dashboards for brokers and clients to view account details, transaction histories, and trading insights.
• Account management: Secure login, client onboarding, and account configuration tools.
• Transaction histories: Comprehensive logs of all trades and account activities.

The platform will prioritize security, scalability, and user-friendly design to ensure a seamless experience for brokers and their clients.

4. User Personas

Broker

• Description: Brokers are professional traders managing multiple client accounts. They require tools for executing trades, monitoring performance, and managing client portfolios.
• Goals: Efficient trade execution, client management, and performance tracking.
• Pain Points: Lack of real-time trade mirroring, complex client management processes, and limited analytics tools.

Client

• Description: Clients are individuals or entities whose accounts are managed by brokers. They rely on brokers for trading expertise and expect transparency in portfolio performance.
• Goals: Access to portfolio details, transaction histories, and performance insights.
• Pain Points: Limited visibility into account activities and performance metrics.

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

meteor-copy will feature a sleek, professional design with a focus on trust, transparency, and modernity. The color palette is tailored to evoke confidence and sophistication:

• Background: #F5F5F5 (Light Gray)
• Surface: #FFFFFF (Pure White)
• Text: #333333 (Dark Charcoal)
• Accent: #007BFF (Vivid Blue)
• Muted Tones: #CCCCCC (Soft Gray)

This palette ensures readability and a clean aesthetic while emphasizing key elements with vibrant accents.

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Trading Universe

The homepage of meteor-copy will transport users into an interactive trading universe. Upon landing, users will see a dynamic 3D visualization of a constellation map, where each star represents a broker or client account.

• Animations: Stars pulsate gently, and when hovered over, they expand to reveal account details.
• Transitions: Smooth zoom-in animations when users click on a star, transitioning to the respective dashboard.
• Color Shifts: The constellation map subtly changes colors based on the time of day (e.g., warm tones in the morning, cool tones at night).
• Micro-Interactions: Clicking on a star triggers a ripple effect across the map, symbolizing trade mirroring.

This design concept creates a memorable first impression and reinforces the platform’s focus on connectivity and transparency.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Scalability: The system must support up to 10,000 concurrent users without performance degradation.
• Security: Implement end-to-end encryption for all data transmissions and secure storage for sensitive information.
• Availability: Ensure 99.9% uptime with robust failover mechanisms.
• Performance: Real-time trade mirroring must occur within 1 second of broker execution.
• Localization: Support Nigerian currency (NGN) and timezone (WAT).
