Try different dates. It seems to be working for me. If i move the start date farther back I get data.
No plan to fix it? Seems like waste of money to run it since it doesnt work.
Stopped working on the 7th

This little tool displays the ratio of sold and bought coins over a given time.
Data comes from the MtGox BTCUSD Stream.
Feedback, any? :>

is this still up and running?
ratio of sold and bought coins?
so some people are buying or selling coins from no one?
every bought coin has a seller
and every sold coin has a buyer
how are these numbers derived?
forgive me if this was already addresses

My bet is that:
sold coins = sold into bid walls
bought coins = bought from ask walls.
so orders that are over a limit of a certain arbitrary amount?
like 50 orders of 2BTC don't make the scale but 1 order of 100BTC does
Take the 'walls bit out of what lucas.sev said and you got it ...
All trades are considered.
When a bid is hit a coin is considered 'sold'
When an ask is taken a coin is considered 'bought'
So it is a measure of whether the current price action is more biased towards price being knocked down by sellers (bearish), or raised by buyers (bullish)
There is always a spread between bid and offer ... the one who crosses it is considered the indicator of sentiment in this model
Like this a big dump, where asks are continuously being hit and price knocked down, the needle would swing to 'bearish' very rapidly.
As I understand it, how far the needle swings is a function of the ratio of coins bought to coins sold over the period being looked at. Not sure on the calibration though.
Hope this helps
Could you give me an example where the barometer is too sensible?
4,336.85 sold | 5,835.64 bought --> arrow is vertically "bullish", but the chart shows, that this rate is more stable than bullish.
The lower buttons don't change the zoom, they select the time period of the chart candles.
Yes, okay, but this is really confusing:
upper zoom lower buttons rate
1D 10 M 5,163.07 sold | 6,297.74 bought
1D 30 M 4,336.85 sold | 5,835.64 bought
The zoom (range to calculate) is the same, but I get totally different values.

Thank,
I would love to see this the same thing as an average of the top 10 exchanges by volume.
neat tool -- fun to play with while drinking! 
sohd tell us the calculations for the numbers
Bookmarked
1. How is this different to the On Balance Volume (OBV) and Accumulation/Distribution- Indicators?
2. Can someone make a diary only trading according to what the Barometer says ?
3. +tip sohd 0.001 BTC verify

I do like this a lot. Of course everyone's algorithm to find a spot on the sentiment continuum will differ but it's always nice to have well-presented data 
The barometer is too sensible now.
The buttons "1M 5M 10M 30M 1H 2H 4H 1D" on the bottom of the page don't work in the matter as inspected, anymore. In the past it was clear what they are doing. Now they change only the zoom in a non-comprehensible way. Now I have to click the lower buttons to get an acceptable zoom range in the top, then I can change the zoom value at the top. This is very circuitous.
Perhaps you should offer all possible zooms "30M 1H 2H 4H 1D 2D 3D 7D 14D 28D 30D 60D" at the same time at the top and delete the (stupid) buttons at the bottom.

I agree with the changing-possible-zooms-buttons thing and am going change that on the next update.
I just thought it would make sense to only display sense-making zoom buttons on the Top

Do you think you could add an API?
For what? The barometer arrow? Trading data?The barometer is too sensible now.

I liked the original barometer, where it was just a barometer. Was a neat idea.
Now it seems like its all hacked together. Maybe my screen size is just too small for it.
