I'm not sure why i'd want to use this site when i can just go to tradingview

I don't think you understand the concept of a show HN. Please be respectful, supportive, and provide constructive criticism.

It's ok, differentiation is something that I must look into - and I am.

But I first needed a foundation that, is true, does not differentiate it too much yet from alternatives.

The time filters are broken for me - clicking on '1h' results in a plot of about 3 days.

The amount of time makes reference of the length of each candle. Perhaps I should look into some way of making that more clear.

Oh now I understand - those times are actually the widths of the candle markers. I thought it was the timescale of the x-axis, my mistake. Is it possible to put a small text annotation explaining what time you're talking about there?

Gdax is more responsive. https://www.gdax.com/trade/BTC-USD

If you mean responsive as in design-when-used-from-a-mobile-phone, you are right. I haven't spent too much time on it yet, but I will.

I don't know what the OP meant by responsive but it is definitely more responsive as far as frequency of updates.

Looks excellent. I have no data to back this up but it feels very crisp and fast in the browser.

I must say however that the idea having the orderbook on the left side of the screen is something I would have to get used to. This may sound silly but I like having the orderbook on the right side of the screen since that way new bars on the candlestick chart appear right next to the orderbook box which is congruent with the reality that the orderbook is literally producing the new candles on the the chart.

Thanks. I've certainly spent some efforts on the client optimization, as some markets produce lots of events per second. BTC-USD and BTC-EUR on GDAX, for example, are often over 100 sustained msg/sec, with higher peaks.

Regarding the orderbook positioning, everyone has their preferences. It's on the plans to make all panels configurable so that they can be moved around, but it's not going to happend on the short term, sorry - many other things on the TODO list!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you looking at the same market? The default market on OhMyCoin is Gemini which has fewer updates than GDAX.

GDAX does the fade-in and fade-out animation on the order book, which helps give it dynamism. It may have a bit more render frequency, as OhMyCoin orderbook is rendered every 200ms. I considered that fast enough, given it's nature nobody is going to read and process the data faster than that, and it consumes much less CPU than GDAX dashboard.
