bitcoin.clarkmoody.comInteractive ChartThe chart updates live with new trades, and the user may interact with it. First of all, you may select the time period for each bar and the style of the chart:
candlestick or line chart.
CandlesticksThe candlestick chart follows a special convention:
Green / red bars indicated a gain / loss over the previous close.
Filled bars were down for that period, with the open higher than the close. Empty bars are up for the period. Thus, you may see filled green bars or empty red bars, but for the most part, green bars are empty and red bars are filled.
Mouse ControlClick and drag - move backwards and forwards in time (tilt wheel also does this)
Double click - returns to the current time
Scroll wheel - zooms the chart to view more or less bars
Ctrl+drag - increase or decrease spacing between bars
You may resize the volume display by dragging the border. Hovering over the chart displays cross hairs. In the price/volume labels, the hovered price or volume is displayed next to the horizontal cross hair line. The time of the given bar is shown in the bottom of the price area (in UTC).
Order BookThe full order book is displayed. You may group prices for a more compact display. The book can display up to 1000 rows, so if you cannot see to the maximum extent of the book, just group prices by 0.10 or 0.25. Additions to the book show up in blue, orders that add or subtract at an existing price level show up in green or red, respectively. The sum column shows the total number of Bitcoin bid or offered up to each price.
Original Order Book threadTime & SalesAs each trade happens, it appears in the Time & Sales list. Trades that are higher than the previous traded price show up in green. Lower trades are red. The time is the local time of the computer. The console outputs the current 'trend' or trade series as the total amount gained or lost in the direction of the recent trades. The volume of the trades in one direction is also displayed.
