📈 Live Stock Price Tracker (Python)

A simple real-time stock price visualization project built using Python, Matplotlib, and Animation. The project simulates live stock market data and displays it as a continuously updating graph.

▶️ How to Run

1. Install dependencies

pip install matplotlib

---

2. Run the project

python main.py

---

📌 How It Works

• The function get_stock_price() generates a random stock price around 35000.

• Every 5 seconds:

  • A new price is generated
  • Data is appended to lists (prices, times)
  • The graph is updated using FuncAnimation

• The chart continuously redraws to simulate live stock movement.

---

📊 Output Example

• X-axis → Time (ticks)
• Y-axis → Stock Price
• A live updating line chart showing simulated market movement

---

⚠️ Note

This project uses simulated data, not real stock market APIs. It is designed for learning purposes (data visualization + animation in Python).

---

💡 Future Improvements

• 🔗 Connect to real stock APIs (Yahoo Finance / Alpha Vantage)
• 🌐 Build web dashboard (Flask / Django)
• 📉 Add indicators (moving averages, RSI)
• 🚨 Add price alerts
• 💾 Save data to CSV or database
