# Stock Indicators & Alpaca Account Info Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add a new `/stocks` route that displays stock indicators and show Alpaca account information on the home page.
**Architecture:**
- Backend: New API endpoint `/api/indicators` that fetches historic prices from Alpaca and calculates indicators (SMA, EMA, RSI, etc.).
- Frontend: New route `/stocks` with a component that allows users to input a stock symbol, fetch indicators, and display them in a table.
- Home page: Add a component showing Alpaca account balance, buying power, and positions.
**Tech Stack:** React Router, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Alpaca API, Node.js.
---
### Task 1: Create backend API endpoint for stock indicators
**Files:**
- Create: `app/api/indicators.ts`
- Modify: `app/api/+types.ts` (add response type)
- Test: `app/api/__tests__/indicators.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Define response type**
```typescript
// app/api/+types.ts
export interface IndicatorData {
symbol: string;
indicators: {
sma: number;
ema: number;
rsi: number;
macd: number;
// add more as needed
};
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Implement the endpoint**
```typescript
// app/api/indicators.ts
import { NextResponse } from "@react-router/server";
import { type RequestHandler } from "./+types";
import { type IndicatorData } from "./+types";
export const GET: RequestHandler = async ({ request, params }) => {
const url = new URL(request.url);
const symbol = url.searchParams.get("symbol");
if (!symbol) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: "Symbol is required" },
{ status: 400 }
);
}
try {
// Call Alpaca historic prices
// Calculate indicators
// Return JSON
const data: IndicatorData = {
symbol,
indicators: {
sma: 0,
ema: 0,
rsi: 0,
macd: 0,
},
};
return NextResponse.json(data);
} catch (error) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: "Failed to fetch indicators" },
{ status: 500 }
);
}
};
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Write test for endpoint**
```typescript
// app/api/__tests__/indicators.test.ts
import { GET } from "../indicators";
describe("GET /api/indicators", () => {
it("returns indicators for a valid symbol", async () => {
const req = new Request("http://localhost:5173/api/indicators?symbol=AAPL");
const res = await GET({ request: req, params: {} } as any);
expect(res).toBeInstanceOf(Response);
const json = await res.json();
expect(json).toHaveProperty("symbol");
expect(json).toHaveProperty("indicators");
});
it("returns error for missing symbol", async () => {
const req = new Request("http://localhost:5173/api/indicators");
const res = await GET({ request: req, params: {} } as any);
expect(res.status).toBe(400);
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
```bash
npm run typecheck && npm test

it("displays indicators after fetching", async () => {
// Mock fetch
const mockData = { indicators: { sma: 100, ema: 120, rsi: 50, macd: 0.5 } };
global.fetch = jest.fn(() =>
Promise.resolve({
ok: true,
json: () => Promise.resolve(mockData),
})
) as any;
render(<StockViewer />);
const input = screen.getByPlaceholderText("Enter stock symbol");
const button = screen.getByText("Get Indicators");
await userEvent.type(input, "AAPL");
await userEvent.click(button);
await waitFor(() => {
expect(screen.getByText("Results for AAPL")).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});
});
```

setError("Failed to fetch account info");
}
};
fetchAccount();
}, []);
if (error) return <p className="text-red-500">{error}</p>;
if (!account) return <p>Loading account...</p>;
return (
<div className="bg-gray-100 p-4 rounded-lg">
<h2 className="text-lg font-bold mb-2">Alpaca Account</h2>
<div className="space-y-2">
<p>Balance: ${account.cash}</p>
<p>Buying Power: ${account.buying_power}</p>
<p>Portfolio Value: ${account.portfolio_value}</p>
</div>
</div>

### Task 4: Update backend to calculate indicators (add indicator calculation logic)
**Files:**
- Create: `app/utils/indicators.ts`
- Modify: `app/api/indicators.ts`
- Test: `app/utils/__tests__/indicators.test.ts`
- [ ] **Step 1: Implement indicator calculation functions**
```typescript
// app/utils/indicators.ts
export function calculateSMA(prices: number[], period: number = 20): number {
if (prices.length < period) return 0;
const sum = prices.slice(0, period).reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);
return sum / period;
}
export function calculateEMA(prices: number[], period: number = 20): number {
if (prices.length < period) return 0;
const multiplier = 2 / (period + 1);
let ema = prices[period - 1];
for (let i = period; i < prices.length; i++) {
ema = prices[i] * multiplier + ema * (1 - multiplier);
}
return ema;
}
export function calculateRSI(prices: number[], period: number = 14): number {
if (prices.length < period + 1) return 0;
let gains = 0;
let losses = 0;
for (let i = 1; i <= period; i++) {
const diff = prices[i] - prices[i - 1];
if (diff > 0) gains += diff;
else losses -= diff;
}
const avgGain = gains / period;
const avgLoss = losses / period;
const rs = avgGain / avgLoss;
return 100 - (100 / (1 + rs));
}
export function calculateMACD(prices: number[], fastPeriod: number = 12, slowPeriod: number = 26, signalPeriod: number = 9): number {
if (prices.length < slowPeriod) return 0;
const emaFast = calculateEMA(prices, fastPeriod);
const emaSlow = calculateEMA(prices, slowPeriod);
const macdLine = emaFast - emaSlow;
// Signal line (EMA of MACD line)
const signal = calculateEMA([macdLine], signalPeriod);
return macdLine - signal;
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Use these functions in indicators endpoint**
```typescript
// app/api/indicators.ts
import { calculateSMA, calculateEMA, calculateRSI, calculateMACD } from "../utils/indicators";
export const GET: RequestHandler = async ({ request, params }) => {
const url = new URL(request.url);
const symbol = url.searchParams.get("symbol");
if (!symbol) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: "Symbol is required" },
{ status: 400 }
);
}
try {
// Fetch historic prices from Alpaca
const prices = await fetchHistoricPrices(symbol);
// Calculate indicators
const sma = calculateSMA(prices);
const ema = calculateEMA(prices);
const rsi = calculateRSI(prices);
const macd = calculateMACD(prices);
const data = {
symbol,
indicators: { sma, ema, rsi, macd },
};
return NextResponse.json(data);
} catch (error) {
return NextResponse.json(
{ error: "Failed to fetch indicators" },
{ status: 500 }
);
}
};
async function fetchHistoricPrices(symbol: string): Promise<number[]> {
// Implement Alpaca API call
// Return array of closing prices
return [100, 102, 101, 105, 107, 110, 108, 115, 120, 119];
}
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Write tests for indicator calculations**
```typescript
// app/utils/__tests__/indicators.test.ts
import { calculateSMA, calculateEMA, calculateRSI, calculateMACD } from "../indicators";
describe("Indicator calculations", () => {
it("calculates SMA correctly", () => {
const prices = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
expect(calculateSMA(prices, 3)).toBe(3);
});
it("calculates EMA correctly", () => {
const prices = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
expect(calculateEMA(prices, 3)).toBeCloseTo(3.5);
});
it("calculates RSI correctly", () => {
const prices = [100, 102, 101, 105, 107, 110, 108, 115, 120, 119];
expect(calculateRSI(prices, 5)).toBeCloseTo(66.7);
});
it("calculates MACD correctly", () => {
const prices = [100, 102, 101, 105, 107, 110, 108, 115, 120, 119];
expect(calculateMACD(prices)).toBeCloseTo(2.5);
});
});
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests**
```bash
npm run typecheck && npm test
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add app/utils/indicators.ts app/api/indicators.ts app/utils/__tests__/indicators.test.ts
git commit -m "feat: add indicator calculation utilities"
```
### Task 5: Final integration and testing
**Files:**
- Modify: `package.json` (add test script if needed)
- Modify: `vite.config.ts` (optional proxy)
- [ ] **Step 1: Ensure Vite proxy is set up for API calls**
```typescript
// vite.config.ts
import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import react from "@vitejs/plugin-react";
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [react()],
server: {
proxy: {
"/api": {
target: "http://localhost:5173",
changeOrigin: true,
},
},
},
});
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the full development server**
```bash
npm run dev
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the new route works**
- Navigate to `http://localhost:5173/stocks`
- Enter a symbol (e.g., AAPL) and confirm indicators appear
- [ ] **Step 4: Verify Alpaca account info on home page**
- Visit `http://localhost:5173/` and confirm account info displays
- [ ] **Step 5: Run all tests**
```bash
npm test
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Run typecheck**
```bash
npm run typecheck
```
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit final changes**
```bash
git add vite.config.ts
git commit -m "chore: configure Vite proxy for API calls"
```

**Plan complete and saved to `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-12-stocks-route-plan.md`. Two execution options:**
**1. Subagent-Driven (recommended)** - I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration
**2. Inline Execution** - Execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints
**Which approach?**
