I think you should swap xx sold | yy bought under the barometer to bought | sold. Or maybe it's just me, but I associate top with left and green/top is the first thing you see and because we read from left to right, shouldn't green be the first thing to read, too?

swapped them and relabled directions to bullish and bearish

//edit: added option "market orders only", because i think market orders are more emotional than limited orders
and we now have a favicon, please update your bookmarks

Hmmm, just seen this change and I think I preferred it the other way. I think because I always associate left with down and right with up, probably from looking at Mt Gox Live and Bitcoinity a lot

How about adding some kind of volume indicator as well? I know the raw numbers are posted but it's hard to say whether it's high or low volume for a specific time frame without any comparison.

Agreed and swapped back to align with bitcoinity and clarkmoody.

Every order is filled by a market order. If there is a standing limit Bid, and your limit Ask overlaps that price, that limit Ask becomes a market order and would be in the sell direction

It's not. Gox differentiates here and clearly tags transactions with "market" and "limit" order types.

Bitcoin Barometer is bullish

small update: added thousand separator to increase readability of large numbers

[keewee]

Now we just need a decent pump 'n dump to really get the needle swinging 

[sohd]

thats not my part :p

Can you also make an indicator for the volume? E.g. since you like CSS transforms, you can resize the arrow to be really small and thin for the current volume, or when it declines… Also filters like making it a bit transparent (i.e. grey) in that case.

If the volume goes up, thicker arrow of course

Nice!

update: data loading is done via json now, opening the barometer should be a LOT faster now
