My go to site: http://bitcoinity.org/markets

Otherwise, I just use Python scripts to retrieve the last trading price using the various exchange API's. I pipe that into xmobar (status bar thing) every 15 minutes or so.

Just a cool little site that updates regularly.  You can choose an average of the 4 exchanges they track (BTC-e, Bitstamp, Localbitcoins, and Mt. Gox) or pick the one you use most.  It keeps the price right on the tab so you can always see the current price.  

I'm not really a trader though.  More of a hobby for me.  Smiley

I use clarkmoody in a minimized window with sound enabled so I can hear the up/down ticks.

Then I use a few windows of bitcoinity with the exchanges I am tracking. Bitcoinity has large text which is useful since I have a PC plugged into my TV and can just glance at it to easily track the prices. It's pretty useful when arbitrage opportunities show up.  I know bitcoinity has sound also but the downticks aren't loud enough.

Do you trade multiple alt-coins?

I use BTC-e to check on some other coins too.

I use mtgox just because I can take a quick peak on my phone when I want.

Very simple to use and you can also view the price in SEK which is nice for me as a swede.

I've started using: http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/

I like how you can see each of the different exchanges and the prices on them, especially since China seems to be more and more important.

I use this since it includes the relative value of other altcoins to bitcoin.

I made one recently (this is a real question, so I won't link to it). I'd like to see other sites that are highly popular to improve mine. Are there features that you prefer? As a trader, what is the most useful piece/pieces of information?

What have you learned from trading?

This is pretty much an open question. Would love your response.
