Title: Help with Bitstamp API Post by: hail on February 25, 2014, 12:48:11 PM i found bitstamp live trade stream api in this forum post,
my code: Code: var pusher = new Pusher('de504dc5763aeef9ff52'); and it is works, it returns trade data like this: Code: amount: 0.30628 but it didn't return trade type. how to get?

Title: Re: Help with Bitstamp API Post by: hail on February 25, 2014, 03:27:19 PM just want know the trade is bid or ask.
Title: Re: Help with Bitstamp API Post by: spin on February 25, 2014, 03:49:57 PM That's my point. I'm assuming this feed gives you executed trades? If so each trade is matching of a bid and ask at a volume and price. So it's both, or am I misinterpreting something?

if someone buy bitcoin at given price, then the trade type is bid!!! otherwise ask! Title: Re: Help with Bitstamp API Post by: spin on February 25, 2014, 09:24:00 PM If someone bought at a price then someone else sold at the same price. Bitstamp matches buy and sell orders to create trades. Thus each trade consists of a matched buy and sell order (or parts thereof). Thus your trade doesn't tell you if it was a bid or ask because it's a matched pair.
I won't post again because you ask for help yet you won't take it when it's given...
