Other key challenges were:

Building Trust – Designing an interface that feels secure and reliable for financial activity.
Responsive Design – Ensuring the dashboard works well on all screen sizes without losing clarity or usability.

Since I was new to the domain, I took support from my seniors and did my own research to understand forex basics, user behavior, and trading goals. The aim was to design a clean, easy-to-use dashboard for both beginners and experienced traders.
