I think you should swap xx sold | yy bought under the barometer to bought | sold. Or maybe it's just me, but I associate top with left and green/top is the first thing you see and because we read from left to right, shouldn't green be the first thing to read, too?

Your barometer is now right Cool

Maybe change the term "price" to "value" or "worth", best would be "bullish" for "price up" and "bearish" for "price down", since the price is not processed and it's more about the emotional state of the market (which is an information way more valuable than just the price) Wink

So how many btc have to bought or sold to move the needle to either end?

It's the ratio during the period of time.

Ah, got it. Thanks

price isn't processed, only the amount of btc that have been traded.

Out of curiosity, how much change of price does it take to "pin" the needle?

I think the beta page is ok. As bids are filled (red) the arrow drops and as asks are filled (green) the arrow rises. Looks good!

/btc/beta/ is now the same as /btc/

i'll stick to the version that's online now. the barometer should indicate what people on the fulfilling side are doing. when they fill ask orders, then they're buying, so bought coins increase, price goes up and so does the arrow. that's the most logical behaviour this barometer can do. or am i confused again?

On /beta/ if you replace at the bottom "sold" by "bought", and "bought" by "sold" then the arrow is ok.
Or at least change the color if you are the opposite side.

Suggestion 1 : Add the title "State of the market" on top of the page
Suggestion 2 : Rename "Price up" to "Bullish", "Stable" to "Equilibrium", & "Price down" to "Bearish"
Suggestion 3 : Go from a barometer to a chart over time

More bids filled (red) = price dropping, more asks filled (green) = price rising. I think the beta page is correct

edit: damn, now I'm not sure it is correct. Have to watch Clark Moody for a bit Cheesy

so you think this (http://mogsta.com/btc/beta/) has the correct arrow movement? that's what i also thought, but got confused by hahahafr, so i made it like it's now..

quite cool - but I think that it's the wrong way round.

if people are buying bitcoins - i.e. bitcoins are being sold - then that is good i.e. the barometer should be indicating UP - but it seems that the barometer indicates down in this case...?

caveat: this based on a few minutes watching transactions on bitcoin.clarkmoody.com and comparing, not from looking at the source.

http://mogsta.com/btc/ - fixed the confusion in the code + relabled "BUYING" and SELLING" to "PRICE UP" and "PRICE DOWN"

@hahahafr:
I'm getting it :>

It's different perspectives: i'm viewing this from the side where the people are that placed their orders.
The other (correct) side is where the people are that fulfilled orders.

I'm about to fixing this.

Order placement isnt used for calculation, just trades that really happened. But i think you saw that in my code Cheesy
