I'm not sure what it uses (probably just MtGox) but as far as tracking fiat exchange rates, BTCtoX is a simple way to go.

My simple solution was to scrape something like bitcoincharts into a spreadsheet.  I also link to FX markets and GLBSE so I can update as required for the different exchanges and currencies I monitor.  When I was trading more frequently it also calculated my arb opportunities.  Now I just use it for real time accounting.

When you read:

https://btc-e.com/api/2/1/ticker

to get the ticker (as an example), look at the buy and sell values...

that has nothing to do with the structure of program

...

Btw: when you read the btc-e.com ticker: buy and sell are mixed compared to MtGox. Pay attention to  this...

what do you mean exactly? where exactly do you read it?
you are taling about any concrete charts?

Would still be very good. Maybe it's not too hard to read just the tickers. But tickers won't help you too much for trading, since you can't see the order volume...

theres a few android apps.  One of them I'm trying to remember but can't find it, I'll remember it at some random moment.

or something more like http://btc-trader.org/

theres a few others, I can't rember, but I'm getting more interested, and have really wanted to write my own trading bot for a long time, but it takes me a long time to code, since I have to get a collection of cheet sheets to look at.

How many lines of Java, do you think, that is?

*I'm curious, since I like Java*

I don't know, but it shouldn't be hard. Probably like an hour of coding and testing.

if your willing to pay I be able to whip up a java program that allows you to set prices, that will be alerted when any of the exchanges hit that price

Hey all,

I've been a miner for a while and I'm looking at getting into a little bit of trading.  I'm trying to figure out how to monitor all the exchanges out there in real time.  Is there a common program that is used?  I know pretty much any site has it's own API but I honestly have no clue on how to use them.  Any help would be appreciated.

-Thanks
