Title: [CHART] Compare multiple BTC / LTC exchanges with indexed prices
Post by: bjornw on February 07, 2014, 04:14:46 PM
Hi all, Ive been collecting some data on different Bitcoin / litecoin exchanges.

With the big drop in prices (especially Gox) the last 24 hours I was wondering if all exchanges were changing at the same percentages, and if not how would they differ. Since comparing CNY with USD and BTC with LTC is a bit tricky (apples and pears etc) I made myself a chart containing indexed prices (check this wikipdia entry if you want to know more about indices: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_index#Normalizing_index_numbers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_index#Normalizing_index_numbers) )

I used  02/06/2014 -- 4:00:00pm UTC as the index base. A bit arbitrary I know, but that was the moment I started collecting Huobi ticker data and I did want to include Huobi since it is one of the largest exchanges.

This chart will make it easy to compare multiple markets and their relative volatility. I found it useful myself, and since I already made it I thought why not share it :

Let me know if you find this useful. If so I will keep it available if not, also fine.

cheers
