Title: Market GUI Feature Request
Post by: biophil on August 20, 2014, 03:22:22 pm
If there's a better place to put this post, could an admin move it there?

First, good work on the GUI! Here's something we need, I believe urgently: When trading in the USD:BTSX market, it would be helpful when you enter a price for it to show you both the USD/BTSX value and the BTSX/USD value. That way there's instant visual feedback about what's going on.

The GUI needs to have information that implicitly pushes the market equilibrium towards the peg so that novice traders can get on and say "hey! I can get BitUSD for 90 cents on the dollar! hot damn! I'll just click this button and buy some!" rather than having to get out their calculator and look over at coinmarketcap.com and figure out what a fair price is.

Charting and technical indicators.

Initially something as simple as Bitcoinwisdom.

If we want traders we need to supply the proper tools.

Should also consider doing a survey of popular trading platforms/online brokerages to see what the TA folks are attracted to, no sense reinventing the wheel.

'Order history' is the 'market order history', correct?

We need individual/wallet order history.
