I want to see live mtgox trading stats without continually refreshing a webpage.  Where can i see this?

#bitcoin-market on freenode streams all trades on mtgox and other exchanges
mtgox also has a websocket api that streams all orders as well as trades: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5855.0

It also used to be visible here: http://www.thenewsh.com/~newsham/x/mtgox/

Hope it comes back

The bid/ask matrix at taters.net still works, but the recent trades portion is suddenly broken  :-[

Does anyone have a screenshot of newsham from when it was functional?  I'm designing something new using the websockets API, but  never saw that one.

I'm not a web/programming expert, but the getTrades.php doesn't load anymore from the script. I read the getTrades.php from mtgox as a string, and I think that is the problem.

This is what I'm using to keep an eye on the market ;)

That gives you rates but doesn't tell you anything about open orders.

getting so annoyed at constantly having to refresh pages

Agreed.  The new Mt.Gox beta websockets feed was announced weeks ago.  I was sure somebody would have coded up a real-time updating NASDAQ Level 2-type market depth monitor by now.
If MagicalTux isn't already working on this for the new version of Mt.Gox, perhaps a bounty is in order?

+1 real time order book pls

Unfortunately some shortcomings currently deter me from setting up a nice realtime graphical interface for that. For example, the feed doesn't provide the current order book upon connection start, and pulling that from another page would be quite tough to sync properly. I've also heard the feed omits some data sometimes, though I haven't verified that.

There used to be an XMPP stream for this that sent the orders as JSON records, but it seems to have gone down.

Nowadays I use #bitcoin-market. It's human readable but indeed not very useful for machine parsing.

It also only gives you the trade data and doesn't tell you anything about the depth of market, which is what we really need.

I wouldn't mind a small quote ticker you can place in the corner of your desktop like a widget or something.

Just current mtGox bid/ask, streamed or polled, whatever works without killing off the site.
And then a configurable alert whenever price moves over/under price X.

That's really the most useful thing I can think of right now.

Why is http://mtgoxlive.bco.in/orders and http://warpi.net/bitcoin/ so very different? Is http://mtgoxlive.bco.in/orders really re-synching with the full order depth or just relying on the websockets stream always, or is it just a matter of resolution?
