Realtime MtGox Accumulated Bid/Ask Chart [w/ websockets]

[fbit]

Hello,

Recently I saw someone utilizing Websockets. So I did a realtime bid/ask chart for personal use. Thought it might be useful for everyone:

Works only in Chrome & Safari as far as I know.

Posting it here because of restrictions. Maybe someone can post it on the Trading Board.  I'm willing to add more stuff, so suggestions are very welcome

Nice. Could do with some more information added (perhaps explaining the colors) but essentially its all there. I'll add a link to this post in the Trading forum for you

Takes a while to load, but it works fine in Chrome 12 under OS X. Nice idea.

That's great, I was hoping for something exactly like that just a few hours ago. Awesome work, works like a charm here in chrome. One slight change I'd make would be to show a scale for the bid ask/depth so you could tell if that spike was 1000 coins or 5000 coins (for example).

Urrr...what's it showing?

Thanks oldminer for posting!
@finack: ok I added some labels to show the coin amount, there's also a slider to adjust the scale. Hope that helps!

Cool, so I figured out the buys are the figures in the red bars and so I assume the greens are the sells, but what are the grey bars?

[fbit]

oldminer, down at the bottom are the recent trades. Green if the trade's price was above the previous one, red if it's below and gray for the same price. Lots of red trades popping up really quickly means sell offs happening and vice-versa.

I continue to love the crap out of this. I hope you plan on keeping it up. The only thing that could make it more perfect in my eyes would be a timestamp on each trade. I leave it running, and when I click back I often am curious if that 5% move in the market was after a long standoff between bids and asks or if it was just an outlying trade (especially during the crazy huge spread trading over the weekend)

Thanks again for such a useful live chart!

Yea I use it all the time too. Live trades are really interesting to watch. I'll be donating toward this app once I generate a few more coins.

Is currently broken it seems... or maybe I'm not doing something right... says Error: Websocket is not defined (more or less that's the error message)

What browser are you using?

Try using chrome - it's been working all night for me.
