Historic market depth charts

I'm working on a historic market depth chart.

Here's one for mtgox:

This is work-in-progress and will change frequently until I figured out how such a chart should look. Any suggestions?

I like it, but it's very hard to see, and some of the numbers are cut off.

Keep up the good work!

That's a fantastic visualization. What is the left-hand axis? Time, I suppose, but it wouldn't hurt to label the axes.

yes, always label axes; he's not the only one around here who doesn't...

I like this idea. But I want to understand what is what here.

Consistent error.  I've been trying for a couple days now to see this!

I changed the link to a static image. It's too much work for the tiny VPS to render it on demand.

Great, thanks!

Ditto on labeling the axes.

The left side are unix timestamps, starting at 1304300000 which is Mon, 02 May 2011 01:33:20 GMT.

The majority of what we see in this view are asking prices between $4.00 and $6.00.  The cliffside represents a drop in asks at those prices since May 2.

Would love to see this going back further in dates, on a longer time scale!

That's awesome. Will it ever be something that we can manipulate in 3D? Perhaps that could be done with Flash?
