Title: Little trading aid
Post by: Luno on December 03, 2012, 01:59:42 PM
Hi guys, to track wall movement I used to watch; http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/mtgoxUSD_depth.html (http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/mtgoxUSD_depth.html).

However the site takes 10-15 seconds to load, as it fetches the complete order book.

So I ripped the graphics to this little HTML code with a one minute auto update. So now I can just have it on a tap, with no waiting:

<HEAD>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="60" />
<TITLE>Orders 1 minute feed</TITLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY BGCOLOR="BLACK">
<CENTER>

Ahhh good old fashioned meta http-equiv="refresh" content=... reminds me of the old days.

What a good idea.  Thank you.

I made a version with a few more charts I watch.  Works great on my nexus 7 tablet.  http://pastebin.com/7khBwXav
