SITE STATUS: Open Beta.
Hey there folks.
I've been working on a personal project of mine, which is this live-streaming web application for monitoring the securities on BTCT and Litecoin Global.
Check it out at http://kryptotrader.comA little backgroundI'm currently a student in university studying design, but I've got a bit of a technical background either working freelance or doing short term contracts for startups. I've built a whole variety of web applications, and my expertise is in Javascript, PHP, jQuery, CSS, and user interface design (basically, I love building interfaces).
A couple weeks ago, I realized I wanted an easy way to keep updated on the realtime trades going on at these exchanges, so I built a quick feed that checked the API that burnside set up on his exchanges. After a little tinkering, I started to add more and more features of what I wanted. Soon enough, it got to the point where I threw it all together into one platform for you guys.
The DesignI went with a Flat style design for this application, something a bit experimental for me since I usually make more refined and pixel perfect designs. But I chose to go this route because of the nature of the application. In a data heavy site, users should be able to focus solely on what's important. The information. Colors help accent and visually divide the data, but again, the attention is on the live streaming data.
Features- Live streaming trade feeds from BTCT and Litecoin Global
- Feed items grouped by security for easy reading
- Live trade charts
- Live bid and ask orderbooks for each security
- Relative Strength Index (RSI) charts generated for each security
- Alerts! Get an email whenever a price hits a certain point, and etc
- Cool charts and whatnot
- Trollbox
Coming soon- Watchlist (specifically follow certain securities, may allow login to load your portfolio's securities)
- More technical indicators (suggestions, and assistance would be appreciated)
- You tell me! I'd love to hear what you all would like to see added, and I'll do my best
Pro Version?I'm in the works of expanding on the platform and building a
pro version. This is basically a subscription based addition to access the super awesome features (which I'm building). I'd love to gauge interest for something like this, since it will be quite of bit of extra work to build. I'd charge something like 0.1 BTC per month (maybe?).
Stuff like:
- Stealth bids and asks
- Incorporating SMS alerts using http://www.twilio.com/sms (a paid service)
- Getting a faster server
- Dashboard with portfolio analysis (see which of your holdings are doing the best and why)
- Earning projections
- Graphs, graphs everywhere
- List to be expanded on as I think of more stuff
Final thoughtsSo... this was basically a two week project of mine (that I kinda obsessed over). I'd love to hear what you all think. I'm still actively developing this whenever I get free time, so if you have any suggestions for additional features, let me know.
