No data manipulation required.  Just the bid/ask sums at each point in time for each price.  This provides the x, y, and z matrices it requires.

It would just be mesh(bid/ask sums, price, time)

If you have the matrices at least, which should be easy to get.

It's not a matrix though, it's a list of prices and amounts at each point in time. No reason something like Matlab couldn't handle something like that, as mature as it is but I don't know if it does. Overkill for something like this though.

Also, the fee will be a problem in Europe. I've been to the US a few times and know it is normal there for ATMs to charge fees in some places (in NY most ATMs did) . I felt robbed every single time since in Europe I'm used to not pay a fee for withdrawing cash. I think most people won't pay 4%.

This was the case in England for a while too. I can't remember if it was customer pressure or legislation that got it changed. You also have to pay for your checkbooks in the US too.

I don't think you are familiar with a matrix but it is basically exactly what you described.  Keep mind that an array is just a 1d matrix.  Price, amount, time-- that is a 3d matrix.

The data as you described it is exactly what you need for the mesh command.

Overkill?? For this one purpose maybe but a lot of people use matlab all the time and have it for any of there needs(myself included).

Checks are in disuse here (I'm not sure if they are even offered still) for at least 15 years. I have never written a check in my life

Well I am glad I was too busy to be online today. I probably would have wasted an entire day spam refreshing the Mtgox page.

A matrix of the kind which I used reasonably often in the course of my time as a student of physics (graduated with honors, thanks) was typically of an n*m (or other dimensional) format which would fit neatly into a grid. The bids and asks returned from the API are not (hence my suggestion that the numbers may need rework).

A 3d depth chart spanning 1 Hour

its like 30 wall pics in one! fucking beautiful!

[BTCdude007]

Do or die time! Will it break the downtrend this time?

Indeed it is  
It'd be  nice if it had a way to represent depth on the vertical axis.

I was thinking more like landscape mapping with different colours.
Then the evolution of the walls over time would become a valley (or a canyon) and the price would be a river flowing in it.

It is depth on the vertical axis, surely?

Do you have the m-code? ... I can plot those as 3-d rendered surfaces that evolve in time if you like ... or as a movie too.

EM had the idea posted here that the 3 D chart should denote age of the limit order by color [or intensity].

[TiagoTiago]

What if instead of 3d, you did it 2d, like your if that 3d graph was viewed from top-down straight, but coloring the bid and ask with red and green, varying the intensity (or brightness) instead of moving up and down, and coloring the "channel" between both sides in blue (also with intensity/brightness, but in proportion to how much it changed from the previous range)?

Breaking back down below $105 could be an important confirmation of the resumption of the capitulation from $145.

105 sucks balls! i'm hoping to see 120 again soon

[DougTanner]

Going back down.



Way down.

here we go

$100 wall held. But maybe the remaining part of the wall is held by the seller who wants to corral sizable bids above $100 for later consumption.
