Thank you.

Guys, I have a couple of questions:

1. Is the minimum price tick size of BTCUSD at MtGox 0.00001?

2. Is Bid and Ask data from the dark pool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5564.0;all reflected in the data?

3. Is traded volume from the dark pool reflected in the data?

4. What is MtGox time (Greenwich, Tokyo, other)?

It's okay. I can wait. Thank you very much for the work that you do 

This is how beautifully BTCUSD can look with high quality data in a charting software I downloaded and merged only a tiny portion of the tick data from Google.

You can easily add indicators, e.g. geometrical ones, you can draw trendlines, you can apply algorithmic strategies and whatnot. On the right there is a panel for manual entering orders, without the need to go to the broker's / exchange's website.

Yeah, I would love to have this possibility with MtGox.

At the moment I need go to bitcoincharts. com, copy the BTCUSD image and then process the image in an image processing software to draw a single trendline  

Okay. I voted for option 1. Disk space is cheap now-a-days.

I vote for ''download a complete dump then process''

Thanks

What a misfortune  


I am just a ''paste and copy'' guy. I write movie dialogues and song lyrics for a living (not in English; my English is terrible). My hobby is trading forex and futures. I will of course leave my opinion in your poll, but not until a few days from now when I get an understanding of what ''sqlite3 dump'' is. Yes, I am that dumb when it comes to computers  

What I normally do if I want to get data for my charting application is I go here http://iqfeed.net/ and pay on a monthly basis for data feeds I want, from exchanges I want. And get the historical and real-time data in format customized to my platform and streamed to my platform, without the need to worry about technicalities.

Maybe in future MtGox could speak to some data vendors and avail its feed to these data vendors. These data vendors will then redistribute (using their data centres) the data to many users for a fee. Here is http://www.iqfeed.net/index.cfm?displayaction=data&section=software#products a list of charting packages that MtGox can reach in a minute without the need to invest in infrastructure too much.

Hello dexX7,

This is a fantastic guide

I needed the data sorted in ascending order (by time: from earliest to most recent date) so I changed DESC to ASC and <2013-05-19 to > 2010-07-16 and it works.

Is the number of 16k rows imposed by Google or could it be somehow increased by the user to e.g. 160k? I am not complaining, just asking

1. At the moment I only need BTCUSD trade tick data (no need for Bid and / or Ask data). For a CSV file (I will later import this data into my application) I need:
Date,Time,Price,Volume (in Satoshis)
yyyy-mm-dd,hh:mm:ss,65000000000

2. In future I will need / want / beg for a mechanism / application that will update the CSV file with missing historical data and will update real-time data from MtGox. I will later map this CSV file (ASCII mapping) with my charting application to dynamically connect the constantly updating BTCUSD file to this charting application.

Thank you.

And this is the weak point / condition that has been failing for thousands of years. Many people declared to be the right kind. But once they take charge ... well that's a different story.

I have one more favour to ask. Apart from Bitcoin-Qt there is also BitcoinD (from what I understand). Can someone post a screenshot of BitcoinD's interface or how BitcoinD looks like?

Thanks

Thanks, it worked

My OS is Windows. Which of the two ''win32'' should I download? The red or the green one? They have different size.

Thanks

So I spotted this thread right on time.

I have no problems with donations. Actually I got interested in Bitcoin because I wanted to make a donation (to a philosopher). But I like programmers too.


Fantastic

Fantastic 


This would be for MtGox to decide if they are inclined to incur this additional cost. There are tens of thousand of third party charting (I am not talking about toys like MT4) software's users: forex and futures and stock traders like myself who, in the future when Bitcoin goes mainstream, would potentially be excluded from being able to load MtGox data into their apps, if MtGox decides not to to avail two additional fields to collect.


I do not know how much would creating this application cost. I hope crowd financing might work (with a little help from MtGox). Yes, I am using Windows.

Just look, there is an application called Sierra Chart (I think some trials were made with this app to accept MtGox data) that has Date and Time separated for intraday data in CSV format http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_TextCSVDataFormat.html#ExampleIntraday

Just a thought: could 2 additional (to already existing Date) columns / fields to collect be added to the API: Date_Only and Time_Only (derived from Date)? Would this be something that requires a lot of work?

Unfortunately not.


I wouldn't have the courage to bother him 

I have no programming experience. Out of curiosity, would it be possible somehow get the data into a CSV file in my computer that would be updated real-time? I would not like to bother you with this. I only want to know if this is feasible.

Anything more complicated than Word or Excel overwhelms my circuits  [/list]

Thank you very much for the information.

Is it possible (if it's not too late) to separate Date from Time? Most widely used trading and charting applications for retail traders (Multicharts or Ninjatrader and others) will not be able to use the data in the format where date and time are merged.
