You can try https://cointerminal.io and https://cointerminal.io/heatmap. If you like to use technical indicators or more advanced statistics, this tool can provide a lot of inside and fast overview of major exchanges. Heatmap is an experiment with alternative trading volume charting. It displays exactly where trades were executed, visualized directly onto candlesticks...

Disclaimer:  I am creator of this app.

Complete new concept to my eyes, not seen anywhere before. Care to explain how to use these charts?
Difficulties in understanding...
I can see that downwards candle from 10 o'clock yesterday, 2017-10-15 where the lower part of the candle got the highest heat on Bitfinex (trading BTC/USD). From visual alone I would guess most of the volume tokes places after the drop in value, traders catching the falling knife.
Last hour of the day 23:00 the reversal candle has the hot end in it's upper side, again damping the move, this time the upwards motion.

That's the basic idea? Low temperature candles of small size suggesting a sideways motion following?
A readme or help button would fit in just fine anywhere on page.

It's also new to me, so I am still trying to find out the best interpretation. So far I find more interesting buy\sell view mode, where I focus more on ratio between sell and buy volume, it's looks like a good indicator of market sentiment. I Also updated the chart yesterday, try to turn on "order book". It's heatmap of orderbook, just awesome way to visulize support and resistence.

Would you be willing to kick off some draft of readme? I kind of suck in describing things clearly and easily :/ Any help would be greatly appreciated...

On your way leveling up you should take a peek at http://whalepool.io:8080/coinorama/ they got that Bits/Asks Ratio too, just classical line charts.
I will try to collect my experiences from using your charts. At the moment you are asking the first rookie strolling along for writing a fine manual and I am more like "wuuut? clueless..."
Will see what I can provide.

Cryptocompare.com lets you used tools common in the industry, from what I've seen.

But if you have no knowledge of financial markets it may be hard to get how to correctly interpret them.

It's more like gathering your experience. I would compile such input from multiple traders into one easy to read text
I will look at coinorama, thank you for the link...

I never look for much of the technical tools, most of the what I do is just go through the growth chart of the asset. From that we can make a prediction about the price movements. Majority of the predictions have gone successful, but I don't focus big profits. Even when a small value change happens used to benefit out of it.

[coinalyze]

https://coinalyze.net/candlestick-patterns/ for candlestick patterns. it auto-detect candlestick patterns on different timeframes

[traderperspective]

Nice, thanks for all the awesome replies, I'll definitely check them out!

[SlipMart]

use tab trader for phone, trading veiw and meta trader for computer

[dissgo]

I used to use tab trader on mobile.
if on PC, for e.g : bittrex, I use studies tool from its feature.

[cryptowilie]

i personally use trading view simply because of their charts, and forums where members provide trading ideas and setups. also the site has got numerous technical indicators which are perfect for analysing trading charts

[smailler]

Which websites do you use to monitor thinks as: number of short/long positions in BTC, money in/out flow, and other technical graphs?

There are many support sites that help you analyze the chart of bitcoin. But I regularly use www.tradingview.com. I appreciate this site very well.

[virasog]

Block chain is the oldest chain site that we remember using, but it has gotten a little overtaken by block cypher and others, although it is still the choice for BTC online wallets.  Yobit has the latest prices with the highest volumes at the moment, so that is probably the best overall price for BTC as far as accuracy at a given moment.

[probitcrypto]

For me i use hourly candlestick charts.
and the tools are.
1.rsi 14 on close indicator.
2.and 2 exponential  moving average one of 13 another is 34.

My setup is simple for gaining profit every time.

[Jaya912]

I only use tradingview.com to see the chart. I never use the other. I use the graph provide by the marketplace. I think thats enough to see the price movement.

[MedvedTrader]

If you trade on GDAX - try Medved Trader, PC software trading platform. It connects to GDAX (and a bunch of other more conventional brokers) to pull down the data and uses it for the trader's tools - charts, tech. indicators, scans, alerts, etc. This kind of software is common for traders in regular markets, but is severely lacking for crypto trading. That's why we connected it to GDAX, so that crypto traders can utilize the same methods to trade that Forex traders can (since crypto is basically Forex).

Integrations with other exchanges (Bitfinex and HitBTC to start with) are coming shortly.

It doesn't cost anything to try - go to www.medvedtrader.com, register, download the software and run it.

Depends on your trading and other needs.  Block cipher is nice for all things blockchain, there is even a miner preference value where you can see how well the miners will like a TX.  Coin market cap for coin info, this usually has the links for the announcements and other needed coin ref's.
 
There is also crypto guru and a few others.  You can google for many more.

[trecore4]

As people are suggesting here, for me also coinmarketcap is the best place to visit at the first glance. If anytime it strikes to my mind that I have to see the price of bitcoin then I will hit the coinmarketcap button and nothing else. So you see how important it is.


It shows realistic price from all the exchangers and also the traded volume from the specific exchangers. This is like  whole earth’s updates are coming at one centre only which means its prime location to checkout the in/out flows for the bitcoin and its investment. Worth visiting really.

most of the trading exchange platforms provide this information and I completely Relay on them as everything are related to the volume of trade in that particular platform. I don't think we lack basic trading tools as most of the technical indicators and charting are provided free of charge on most of the exchangers platforms. I do used candlestick indicators and formations to make my trading decision.
