This little tool displays the ratio of sold and bought coins over a given time.
Data comes from the MtGox BTCUSD Stream.

Feedback, any? :>

The 4H, 1D, 1W, 30D are all the same?

It's running since 1:30pm UTC+1, so no older data available, sorry.
Found no place where to get historical trading data

From the MtGox API? Just use

http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/trades/fetch?since=

and go back as far as you want.

Looks cool though. I'd change "Buying" to "RALLY!" and "Selling" to "CRASH!?". A little more dramatic. =)

EDIT: This will start getting all trades on 00:00:00 April 14th 2013.

Then just loop it until you catch up. =)

Edit2: Just use the last tid you get and call it again. I'd add a little delay so you don't piss off MtGox. I have the data but this should be fairly easy for you to figure out.

good site

nice tool, bookmarked

Very cool! Could you add "ghostly" indicators to show the previous values for the same time window a short while ago  (maybe from a moving window) to help show how the trend is changing?

Hmm... Hope that's clear!

That is pretty cool!
I would change "Stable" for "Neutral" Because there is no stable, just periods of low volume

Well stable is relative. You can have his version of stable in high volume. His stable really just means "sideways". I do agree with showing the price change for the timeframe selected.

Very nice....bookmarked as well.

Great!
I really like it!

Haha, great! +1

I found a use for an old smartphone. It will sit propped on my desk.

One other suggestion - instead of using a droplist for the time frame, could you make them a series of links across the bottom?  It seems good to look at various time frames, but its a bit of a pain to select from the droplist each time.  But again - very nice!

Oh and - bookmarked!

Thanks, i will look into getting all trades i can and put them into my db.

Buying = RALLY / Selling = CRASH? In the 1M time frame? I wouldn't do that :p

Very cool! Could you add "ghostly" indicators to show the previous values for the same time window a short while ago  (maybe from a moving window) to help show how the trend is changing?

Hmm... Hope that's clear!  

I already thought about making this tool more informative, we'll see what comes next. Thanks

Never thought it worked on smartphones. Actually i tried it with a slow EDGE connection and it failed. At home with wireless lan it works.

Sounds good, that's what i'm going to do next.

Maybe I'm just thick, but I don't get this.

How is there ever a difference between the number of bitcoin sold and the number bought?  How is this calculated?

[sohd]

I'm also quite new to this trading thing. What i think is this:

Somebody places an ask order, someone else fills it -> coins got sold.

Vice versa:
Someone places a bid order, someone else fills it -> coins got bought.

Thats how i understand this, to experts, am i right?

Bitcoins sold is when a standing bid order is being sold into (price goes down), and bought is when asks are being bought into (price goes up). In both cases bitcoins are being bought and sold ofcourse, but the difference is direction and the one taking action.

Ahh.  'The one taking action.'  That makes a certain amount of sense.

* shrug *  I mostly just buy and hold and spend, so I guess it doesn't matter.  Maybe a couple times a year I'll sell some into obviously stupid spikes, and buy back the crash, but I don't think that's really considered to be trading.
