How you prefer to read charts?

[thomasalvord]

I'm working on a website that will provide real-time coin prices across 100+ different exchanges, as well as real-time professional trading charts.

We are building out the design for the home page. I was curious how many of you use or don't use these little charts. Do you look at and like these?

Thanks for the feedback!

I rarely look at those little charts, I find them too small to hold readable useful info.
What I do is:
* If I need to check better the evolution of a coin I go to charts like https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/bitcoin, where the chart is bigger and I can also choose various periods of time.
* If I need real time evolution (I don't know if you also want to cover this) I prefer https://bitcoinwisdom.io/markets/bitstamp/btcusd over https://cryptowat.ch/markets/bitstamp/btc/eur

From your examples I prefer 1 over 2.

NeuroticFish, that is great feedback. Thanks. That's actually pretty much how I view the data too. I wanted to see if others concurred or disagreed.

Any other feedback is appreciated from anyone else! Thanks!

I'm quickly looking at that small charts price and I'd prefer the number 1 screenshot that you have provided.

For someone who's just checking the price and chart if its going high or low, mostly prefer to look it that way. Although not everyone would like to see the chart that way but majority would really appreciate the small chart with the number 1 design.

I prefer the first one because It's more simple and easier to read. The second one is  colorful but I feel a bit confused to read that kind of chart. I rarely see price chart recently because stopped trading for a while (enjoying life while bitcoin dump).
