        abstract = {The rapid evolution of financial technology has significantly transformed the landscape of retail investing and trading. Online trading platforms like Zerodha have set a new standard by offering commission-free trades, intuitive interfaces, and real-time market data. This research presents Chain Stock, a full-stack trading platform developed as a clone of Zerodha, designed to simulate the core functionalities of a modern brokerage system. The primary objective of the project is to explore the architecture, design principles, and real-time capabilities required to build a scalable and user-friendly trading application. Chain Stock offers features such as user authentication, live market data integration, a virtual trading engine, portfolio tracking, and responsive charting tools. The platform is built using a modern technology stack incorporating React.js for the frontend, Node.js for backend services, and Web Sockets for real-time data streaming. Emphasis is placed on usability, security, and modular architecture to ensure a seamless user experience and educational value. This paper outlines the methodology adopted in developing Chain Stock, evaluates its performance against existing trading solutions, and discusses the challenges encountered during implementation. By replicating the structure of an established trading platform while introducing improvements in user experience and system design, Chain Stock serves both as a practical fintech prototype and as a valuable educational tool for developers and investors alike.},
