Clone the repository\n2. Install dependencies:\n```bash\nnpm install\n```\n\n## Running the Application\n\nStart both backend and frontend together:\n```bash\nnpm run dev\n```\n\nThis will start:\n- Backend server on port 3001\n- Frontend development server on port 5173\n\nOr run them separately:\n```bash\n# Terminal 1 - Backend only\nnpm run dev:backend\n\n# Terminal 2 - Frontend only\nnpm run dev:frontend\n```\n\n## Building for Production\n\n```bash\nnpm run build\n```\n\nThe production-ready files will be in the `dist` folder.\n\n## How It Works\n\n### Order Matching\n- Orders are matched using **price-time priority**\n- Best buy price is matched with best sell price\n- When prices overlap, a trade is executed\n- Orders with same price are matched based on timestamp (first in, first out)\n\n### Clearing Process\n- Matched trades enter clearing status as \"Pending (T+2)\"\n- Clearing house guarantees both sides of the transaction\n- Eliminates counterparty risk\n\n### Settlement (T+2)\n- After 2 seconds (simulating 2 business days), trades settle\n- Status changes to \"Settled ✅\"\n- This is when money and shares actually transfer\n\n## API Endpoints\n\n- `POST /api/orders` - Place a new order\n- `GET /api/book` - Get current order book\n- `GET /api/trades` - Get recent trades\n- `GET /api/ledger` - Get clearing/settlement records\n- `POST /api/reset` - Reset the simulation\n- `GET /api/stats` - Get simulation statistics\n\n## WebSocket\n\nConnect to `ws://localhost:3001/ws` for real-time market updates including:\n- Order book changes\n- New trades\n- Settlement updates\n- Statistics\n\n## Deployment\n\nThis application is ready to deploy on:\n- **Render**: Use the start script\n- **Replit**: Works out of the box\n- **Railway**: Auto-detects Node.js\n- **Heroku**: Add Procfile with `web: npm start`\n\nMake sure to set the PORT environment variable for production deployments.\n\n## Educational Use\n\nThis simulator is designed for educational purposes to help understand:\n- How stock exchanges match orders\n- The role of clearing houses\n- T+2 settlement cycles\n- Order book dynamics\n- Market microstructure\n\n## Disclaimers\n\n- This is a simplified simulation for educational purposes\n- Does not represent actual market conditions\n- Real markets have additional complexity, regulations, and safeguards\n- Stock market investments carry risk - always do your own research\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions are welcome!
