Week 1 (8/31 - 9/4): Attempting to schedule an initial meeting with the rest of the team. May get pushed to next week due to conflicting schedules. On the side I have been performing some research on frameworks and APIs.

Week 2 (9/7 - 9/11): Have had 2 meetings so far. One to catch up on the Form Teams Milestone and another to finish the Personas and User Stories Milestone. Personally, I wrote the Marshall Presley Persona, created the wiki pages for the Form Teams Milestone, and have begun testing various potential APIs for stock price grabbing and trend data. For stock price grabbing, I have tested Alpha Vantage (not enough queries per day), pandas-datareader (not live data), and Yahoo Finance. Currently, I’m leaning towards Yahoo Finance but I want to do more research since it has been taken down before (from 2017 - 2019). For trend data I have only tested pytrends.

Week 3(9/13 - 9/18): None.

Week 4 (9/20 - 9/25): Researched Finnhub API. This seems like our best current option since it is the first free one I have found with a minute limit instead of a daily limit (30 API calls per minute). Collaborated with the rest of the team for the design milestone. Personally, I made the final design using FrameWorks and discussed options for our rough design.
