Your question is Trade Within 24 Hours. Start with the requirements and the two tables on the right.

Run and submit as often as you like. When you're ready, talk me through your approach or go straight to the code.

Problem

Vanguard Brokerage wants to measure how often users place a trade shortly after accessing their account. Write a PostgreSQL query to calculate the percentage of distinct users who completed at least one trade within 24 hours of any login.

Treat the 24-hour boundary as inclusive. A user should be counted only once, even if they have multiple qualifying logins or trades. Users with logins but no qualifying trade must remain in the denominator.

Requirements

  1. Identify the distinct users who logged in.
  2. Identify users with at least one trade occurring from the login timestamp through 24 hours afterward.
  3. Return the qualifying-user count, total logged-in-user count, and percentage rounded to two decimal places.
  4. Exclude trades that occurred before login or more than 24 hours after login.
