Understanding Performance Leaders
The Cryptocurrency Performance Leaders dashboard highlights digital assets with the most significant price movements over a 5-day period. It calculates Percent Change—the difference between the previous closing price and the current last price—to identify top gainers (green bars) and losers (red bars).
Key Features:
- Real-Time Updates: Prices refresh every 10 minutes during active trading, with new data flagged by a "flash."
Multiple Views:
- Chart View: Visualizes top/bottom performers as color-coded bars. Hover for details like last price, high/low, and trade time.
- Table Views: Switch to Main, Technical, or Performance views for traditional data formats.
- Data Aggregation: Sources include GDAX, Kraken, Huobi, and others, though discrepancies may occur due to decentralized markets.
