Reactive Trader

Reactive Trader is a real-time FX trading platform designed to showcase reactive programming principles across the full application stack.

Originally written in WPF and .Net, and now in React/Redux, .Net and Node.js, we continue to evolve the platform to use the latest technologies.

Please see our Showcases page for a full list of the latest features.

8. Alternative commands:

• npm run build:demo-backend - to run the client against a demo backend running in the cloud
• npm run test - to run tests using Jest
