Dear Mr. Bitcoincharts.com,

When I use different methods to predict market movements, I naturally look at charts with differently cut intervals, as it gives me a broader view of movement and reversal points. For daytrading the available 1-60 min intervals are very sufficient, but when it comes to weekly or bi-weekly outlooks, the hourly intervals present an instrument too tiny crafted to make significant statements. If you compare charts of the different intervals available for example:

From 1min- to 5min intervals the differential factor is 1:5
from 5min- to 15min intervals the differential factor is 1:3
from 15min- to 30min intervals the differential factor is 1:2
from 30min- to 60min intervals the differential factor is 1:2
from 60min- to 1day intervals the differential factor is 1:24!!

To improve the utility and value of bitcoincharts.com as a day-to-day trading tool, I'd like to see this augmentation being implemented in the coming updates.

Yours sincerely,
Spekulatius

cool!

the only thing that bugs me with bitcoin charts is the way it looks when i'm looking at 1 day 5min interval,

too see the exactly what happened at a very specific time, its becomes very hard to see, maybe it would be easier to see if we could see 1,6,12 hours of data at a time, like mtgox live.

Two new intervals please, 10secs and 6hours.
Also can I get a "save as Excell" file, for further analysis.

Also the larger mode seems to expand only really on the right on very high res monitors.

How about Bitcoinica buy and sell price lines, taking the odd price spreads and time slipping.

Parameters for the indicators please. And why not make it more contextual, so instead of having 4 Indicators have "add indicator" so there can be as many or as few as desired.

How about some extra parameters for some of the indicators?

What do you use as Open and Close for a 24-hour exchange?

Historical depth, it's the only thing that comes to mind currently.

Love the new 6-hour option BTW, thanks for this.

Bitcoincharts rules, best and most reliable exchange data for Bitcoin. :)

You want to use xts for that, dropoutbox:

Code:

 library(xts)
btc<-read.csv('trades.csv',col.names=c("Date","Price","Volume"))
btcxts<-xts(btc[,2:3],order.by<-ISOdate(1970,1,1)+ btc[,1])
btcohlc<-to.hourly(btcxts)

That will give you an R xts object with OHLC values. Handy for historical data, and takes less than a second for all btc trades so far.

I know this isn't really what you're asking, but I'd like historical bid/ask data at time of sale available on the markets api, while we're making wishes come true. Also whether the trade was seller or buyer initiated (I'm interested in whether liquidity shocks in bitcoin will be any easier to model than in the general stock/forex market).
