Backtest asset allocations against historical data. A weekend project to help me rebalance my portfolio, and learn some new web technologies.

Almost everything happens client-side in the browser:

• app interactions,
• all portfolio computations,
• chart rendering (using HighCharts),
• Backbone.js, Underscore, Twitter Bootstrap 2.0, jQuery...

The server is very simple:

• serves static assets,
• fetches monthly stock quotes from Yahoo, parses them, returns them as JSON,
• Flask / Python, hosted on Heroku

1. Clone this repo.
2. Run:

    $ virtualenv venv --distribute --no-site-packages
    $ source venv/bin/activate
    $ pip install -r requirements.txt

$ (gem install foreman)
$ foreman start

http:https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/python

$ heroku login
$ heroku create --stack cedar
$ git push heroku master
