The first personal project after self-learning Javascript and basic React framework.

The "Stocks Position Sizing Calculator" is a React application designed to aid traders in making informed decisions regarding the number of shares to long or short based on their individual risk tolerance and trade parameters. By inputting their stock portfolio account balance, the percentage of their portfolio they are willing to risk, the current stock price, and their desired stop loss, users can efficiently calculate the optimal number of shares to engage with for a trade. The application provides clear advice on whether to proceed with the trade or abstain if the potential loss exceeds the user's risk threshold.

• User choice to plan for a long or short position before entering trade details.
• Calculation of the number of shares to long or short based on user-defined risk parameters and trade setup.
• Analysis of the trade's viability by comparing the risked amount of capital against the potential loss defined by the stop loss.
• User-friendly interface for seamless interaction with the application.

1. Real-time Stock Pricing Integration: I plan to incorporate a real-time stock pricing API, allowing users to input a stock ticker symbol and automatically retrieve the latest stock price for their calculations. This feature aims to streamline the process by reducing the need for manual price entry, ensuring that users have access to the most up-to-date information for their trades.

2. Step-by-Step Usage Guide: This guide will be available directly within the web application, offering clear instructions and tips on how to effectively use each feature of the calculator.

3. UI Enhancements: Create a more engaging and seamless experience for users, with an emphasis on simplicity and ease of use.
