Sleepless? Tired? No time for family?

[Jessi]

Ok. Here comes another update. Don´t know, if it´s clean like the "old" version without calculator. - Maybe I have to drop functions if it´s too much?!

Anyway I decided to give it a try. The Idea behind three calculators is the same like behind three alarms: more flexibility.
If only a calculator for "last" is needed, then I am going to drop the other two.

Now it´s calculating "live" and in both directions.

Hey Jessi, I like that update much better thanks!  Calculating in both directions, very cool.

Maybe there are some advantages to having those 3 calcs after all.

Just 2 minor things I see:

- Could you center the High/Low alarm prices like they were before? They are right justified now, and look way better when centered.

- I know you're tight on space, but could you bump up the calculator-based fonts up 2 points in size? That would make
the calculator numbers much easier to read in the mini window.

Great job man. This thing has really improved leaps and bounds.

Well Done Jessi. All the numbers are very readable!

I am testing the calculators, verifying that they update correctly with the changing buys/last/sell prices.

I noticed in recent changes the Buy, Last and Sell ticker prices in the first row,were not enclosed in rectangles. That looked
great because it stood out from the rest of entry fields, and was less cluttered in both the standard and mini broswer versions.
 I think that would help clean up the look one last time.

Again, many thanks for making it a calculator too!  

Sent you another donation.

the calculator doesn't seem to update with changing price.  nice job overall.

Been noticing that too, calcs are not updating with current prices. Have to manually reenter them for now.

[Jessi]

Sorry for the long delay, but during this day/evening I wasn´t able to concentrate much, because of the rally I lost most of my Bitcoins. What a bad month...
The only good thing is, that I am now not sleepless any more, because I do not have to care about my Bitcoins. 

Anyway here comes a new update.

Yes, you are right, I did change it. I was thinking that you maybe prefer the white one and therefore I gave it a try. But to be honest I prefered the transparent one, too. ;-)

Yes, you where right. I was just working on a bug in this feature, when the rally began to start.

Now this should also work well. If you put in a number, then it will be changing "live" if the number in the head will change. This is depending in which box you made your entry. Therefore it will remain green, if you have made an input to show that this is the given number. The other field will remain white and will change then dynamically.

Don't feel too bad Jessi about your Bitcoins, most of us lost BTC on this crazy spikefest.

It will come back to you because of the time/effort you have put in this sweet trading tool

Your alarm tool saved me from losing a lot more money, cause when I saw the Red Flasher go off at the coffee shop,
it was a major sell alert !!! 

Hope all is well with the Euro...

Yes. you are right, I am just a bit tired because it´s not only this day. ;-)
Anyway I am also a bit angry about bitcoinica ("bitpanica") from now, because some days ago they told that they would do about 75% of tradings. If so, they are responsible for 75% of this large spikes and letting the newbies like me uninformed about the trading-basics it is hard not to do something wrong.

It will come back to you because of the time/effort you have put in this sweet trading tool

I don´t know... I worked very hard on my amount. I worked 9 month as a miner and when it wan´t much rentable I switched and bought BTC directly even when I was low on money. Some weeks ago I lost a big part and today the biggest part ever. That was like loosing a half year. Altogether about 400 BTC (now finally about 60-70% what I had) where gone... bad luck and to risky decisions for a newbie. Finally my fault.

Your alarm tool saved me from losing a lot more money, cause when I saw the Red Flasher go off at the coffee shop,

That´s a good news! I am happy to hear, that someone was rescued by this tool. That shows me, that the idea behind basically is working.
Anyway I did see, that after the crash begun the tool not delivered new data. But it wasn´t the tool itself, it was the ticker of Mt.Gox which wasn´t refreshing any more.

Hope all is well with the Euro...

I don´t know. I do not have any Euro either!

Jessi,

Wanted to show you the Alert/Calc tool in action on my BTC trading rig:

Jessi,

Wanted to show you the Alert/Calc tool in action on my BTC trading rig:

Really intresting... what is the yellow window? And wherefore do you need a calculator?

[StewartJ]

The yellow window is Stickies notepad program, to quickly store trading info from MT Gox.

The other calculator, Windows version, is to figure out fees, profits/losses.

Your Calculator tool provides real-time pricing on my BTC traded.

Yes, but it's too cumbersome for me to figure out for now.

I might get around to doing a spreadsheet so I can calculate numbers and record my trades in an easier way.

If you ever created a MT Gox add-on tool to help me trade more efficiently, I would pay BTCs for that.

[Jessi]

Which Version of Excel do you use?

Excel from MS Office Pro 2003

just wanted to thank the OP for making this.  it saved my ass this morning.  instead of being -$150 im only -$20

on another note, i was wondering if it would be possible to make something similar to this that would let you submit orders on mtgox.  if there was a way to set it up so only sertain orders get placed when a certain price is reached that would be excellent!  would this be possible?

[chsados]

Jessi,

Wanted to show you the Alert/Calc tool in action on my BTC trading rig:

what are those  pull down bars at the top of the firefox status bar?  "MTGOX BTC.."

More of the "Stickies" notes.  They are rolled up into into title bar mode, double-click on them and they
roll out into the Notes again.  I find them handy for storing BTC trade data and notes:

The Stickies have API capabilities for integrating stuff, I should learn to do something with that.
