My Implementations

1. Completed the implementation of register that allows a user to sign up for an account via a form.
2. Completed the implementation of quote that allows a user to look up a stock’s current price.
3. Completed the implementation of buy that enables a user to purchase stocks.
4. Completed the implementation of index that displays an HTML table summarising which stocks the user owns, the numbers of shares owned, the current price of each stock, and the total value of each holding (i.e., shares times price). Also displays the user’s current cash balance along with a grand total.
5. Completed the implementation of sell that enables a user to sell shares of a stock (that he or she owns).
6. Completed the implementation of history that displays a HTML table summarizing all of a user’s transactions.
7. Implemented 2 other functionalities to allow users to change their passwords change_password, and to add additional cash to their account addcash.
