That would definitely be an improvement... Coding a little bit again today. I'll take this into consideration.

I don't really get what you mean. Could you give an example? To me it seems not to be relevant what btc value is traded but only the altcoin amounts.

That's correct, very simple.

I don't have the time to go into detail right now... but in the top right corner you see a little info button. I tried to explain how it works. I will go into your suggestion maybe tomorrow. Having family weekend right now! But thank for your feedback so far.

Hi! I am very new to this whole cryptocurrency topic and I already know that Poloniex is maybe not the most beloved exchange but well... it was simply the first I stumbled upon and started to use it with a very small amount of btc.

However, I noticed they have an API and I developed a nice little tool that might be interesting for some. It just reads all trades for a given currency pair and displays ratios for the last 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. It helped me and others already to get the right timing for buying low or selling high but I would really appreciate some more feedback. Do you think it can be useful? How to improve it? What do you think?

Here is the tool: https://polotrend.markus-kottlaender.de

And here is a related reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/PoloniexForum/comments/6d5gow/see_when_people_start_to_buy_or_sell_on_poloniex/

And here a comment which made me very happy: "Awesome Tool, survived the BTC Crash thanks to you!"
So actually it seems to be helpful in some situations.
