Understand the project
Practical overview
When it fits
Use Cryptoviz when a visual view of Poloniex order-book depth and live trades is more useful than a conventional candlestick-only chart.
Who it is for
- Market watchers examining order-book depth and trade activity on Poloniex.
- Developers interested in a JavaScript reference for a live depth-of-market visualization.
Documented uses
- Inspect how order-book volume is distributed across price levels.
- View live trades alongside depth, with indicators that reflect trade size.
- Build a local development version of the visualization from its public repository.
