Mtgox should substract whatever you're selling from your account so you don't sell what you don't have.

agreed.

I think there should be an "available balance" listed, but as it is there is no way to sell what you don't have the trade appears on your list as "not enough funds" and is not listed in the chart.

I love your exchange.  best I have seen yet.

One recomendation, offer the ability to "short sell" bit coins.  This would work by paying other users interest and requiring the short seller to keep enough cash on hand to cover his position.  Say 2x $USD for every BTC short sold.   Users would specify the amount they are willing to lend their BTC for.   In the event that BTC prices move against the short seller his dollars can be auto-liquidated to cover the position.

This service would help "stabilize" the market and would be the first "bank" someone could put coins into and "earn interest" for lending.

Is it possible to see the market data in tabular form?

I can see the cool graphs and get the info with the mouseovering.
But I'd like to be able to see the data in a table also.

Is there just some button I cannot see?

You could parse https://mtgox.com/code/getDepth.php

The depth of market table is there now. I wanted to do something cooler but haven't had time so I went ahead and just put the table there.

We (some people on the IRC channel) noticed what seemed to be unexpected behavior in the mtgox matchmaking system today. At one point, there was an outstanding offer to sell bitcoins at a price lower than the highest outstanding bid, and the transaction was at below-market rates. When we noticed this, it was possible to buy 1 bitcoin for six cents even at a time when there were outstanding offers at a higher price.

Very useful, MG, thanks.  Spif looking stuff is nice, but data now is better than data later.

Ta,

gridecon: Yeah I'm looking into it. I'm pretty sure I know how it happened so it should be fixed soon.

Any chance you will add other currencies to the market such as Pecunix GAU?

Instead of calculating the volume as the last 24 hours, which give us a false impression, implement total volume for this 24 hours period.

Even better would be a list of all trades in the last 24 hours (or ever).

I assume you  mean that rather than the volume over the last 24 hours, you would like the volume since, for example, midnight in some timezone.  But what timezone?  MtGox is a 24/7, theoretically worldwide market.  There is no 'close of market' as is customary from historical exchanges.  On the 'All Time' chart you get the volume and open/close/high/low figures broken up into consistent 24 hour periods.

that's last 48 hours I believe.

That doesn't appear to be volume data.

Simple, just use UTC.

Oh yes, sorry, my mistake, prices and times but no volumes.

Wonderful site.  Making it free is going to grow the site. Good job.

You could suggest a 2% bitcoin donation for filled orders. I certainly will donate.

I deposited $10 and placed a bid for bitcoins. The depth of market is a little off, I would like to see side by side. Sounds like you are doing this.

Makes me want to sell something cheap on ebay for $5 and let them know I'll take 50 bitcoins instead, and link to your site (against ebay rules?)

You could use bitlist or bidding pond.
