I'd like to see a quick way to get back to the trade page you last had open.
Yes! We're making progress, but this issue is causing a real lack of grounding in the UI, leaving users feeling lost and/or stuck. The solution is two-fold. First, although Open Ledger is technically a wallet, it is marketed as an exchange. Therefore, when the user clicks the "Trade" main menu item, the trading page should appear with the last viewed market visible (perhaps this page should even be the default page visible upon login). This alone will go a LONG way, I really cannot emphasize this enough. By the way, to manage favorite markets now, simply add a link to it on the trade page.
Speaking of managing favorite markets, this seriously needs work. Please take a cue from the Poloniex UI on this one. Instead of the "add/subtract" paradigm (which really isn't working anyway), please put a check box next to each market so users can select (or deselect) markets as favorites. Then have a check box at the top that says "show favorites only" and make it selected by default. Deselecting it should make ALL available markets visible. Don't worry about there being too many markets. Poloniex lists hundreds of coins. Plus we can just provide a working way to narrow them down (by base asset) AND sort them (by quoted asset, base asset, volume, etc). We should also consider having a check box at the top that says something like "hide inverted markets" to limit the list to only one version of each pair. Perhaps let that default version use the paired asset with greater liquidity as the base.
Also, some on this forum have asked for this page to show last price, 24h price change, and 24h volume. I agree. And I'll point out that you can make more space for those columns by having the table span the entire page left to right, while moving the search criteria fields into a narrow band at the top. I would also reduce the row height so we can view more markets on the page (please also reduce row height in the list of markets on the trade page).
The last thing I would request you add to this is a way to move markets up and down in the list of selected favorites. This way we can have our most favorite markets at the top. If we can add that along with the other modifications described above, it's going to make a WORLD of difference.
Thanks!
