LJH Capital

LJH Capital is a fairly simple program I wrote to monitor small stock and cryptocurrency trades I was making at the time. It doesn't get much use these days, but the premise is really simple.

When I made this service, I was investing small amounts of money into "up and coming" crypto currency. The problem was, however, that these cryptocurrencies were usually so small that they could only be purchased independant, somewhat obscure websites. Because of this, I found myself hoping between these multiple websites multiple times a day. It became tedious, each time to pop between these websites, often having to calculate myself what my position was at that moment. I decided, then, to build this simple GUI application to do that for me.

Basically, all it does is use an HTML parsing package in Java to open the websites I needed it to. It would then do a key word search to discover the price of each coin, then use my pre-entered information on it to calculate my current position. This information would then be displayed on an interactive display I build using JavaFX.

Here is a screenshot of the program. I wanted it to resemble old-school Wall Street esque computer screens. I'm fairly happy with how the project turned out and I defintely made good use out of it!
