MtGox Historical Data

[Troutner]

Hey all,

As a newbie, I couldn't post anywhere but here. I wanted to reply to the thread on historical data:

I compared the live graph provided on the Mt. Gox homepage with the data downloaded from bitcoincharts.com, and noticed that they don't look at all similar.

Here is a screenshot of the Mt. Gox live-graph of their home page from 11/20/12 to 12/20/12:

Here is a graph of the data downloaded from bitcoincharts.com over the same time period:

As you can see, the Mt. Gox graph shows a pretty much flat trend, whereas the data graph shows a clear upward trend.



Does anyone know why there is such a discrepancy between the two graphs?



Thanks for your input!

I just realized that the candle sticks are the price. I was looking at the solid blue line, which represents volume. Now I see that there is no discrepancy between the data.
