Small Desktop Ticker (Luno/Poloniex/Bitifinex/Ice3x)

So I can't keep opening my browser or checking my phone at work so I wrote this. It may be useful to someone.

This is my first deployment so if you get errors please just paste the error details here and I'll try solve them.
If you have any easy/quick change request I'll try do my best.

Basics:
* Variable Sync speed
* Poloniex, Luno, Bitifinex and Ice3x now supported
* Configurable currency pairs
* Configurable (Top/Bottom/Left/Right)
* Click through
* See through
* On Top
* High/Low Alert (set to windows Asterisk/Beep on each sync)
* Running Average (Configurable) progress bar (Red = Under, Green = Over) with configurable multiplier

Done.

You can configure the currency pair from the config file (supplied). Put the pair you are looking for first. i.e. <string>USDT_LTC</string>

<setting name="parameters" serializeAs="Xml">
<value>
<ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<string>USDT_BTC</string>
<string>USDT_DASH</string>
<string>USDT_LTC</string>
<string>USDT_NXT</string>
<string>USDT_STR</string>
<string>USDT_XMR</string>
<string>USDT_XRP</string>
</ArrayOfString>
</value>
</setting>

I hacked it together this morning so please shout if it gives any issues. If you want to use Luno instead then substitute "luno" for "poloniex"

<setting name="exchange" serializeAs="String">
<value>poloniex</value>
</setting>
 
Nice project. Would you consider different selectable timeframes (any user specifiable would be great) for value direction / trend ?
 
Sure. Just explain it to me. I'm going to keep this all in memory so as long as this is fine we can give it a try.

The main goal of the project was just to have something unobtrusive on my desk, so I'd like to keep it small and tidy.

At the moment the only variables are the exchange, currency pair (on Poloniex), and update timer.
 
Very nice man, finding it very handy because of all the wondering eyes at work. Are you planning to make the app a little more customizable? I'd like to change the location and color scheme of the widget at some point. Good work!
 
Yeah. I just moved over to another exchange so I've had to do another plugin.

I'll try add some settings to move top/bottom/left/right. Colors may be a little longer.
 
Thanks...If people don't mind I've just linked to Google drive.. then I can update all in one go.

Anyone want any other exchanges?
 
Since I've changed exchanges my mind has been broadened a little.

*Should I change the ticker to do last trade + moving average indicator (simple up/down arrow) for multiple currencies (single exchange)?
*If anyone has played with the alerts, should I link them to each currency or ditch them?
 
Lucky I was checking my mail just as you sent the request + I was bored :)

Didn't really think Luno would add more currencies so didn't update the plugin when they added ETH. You can now edit the config for the currency you want on Luno. It looks like they only have ETHXBT, so I had to extend the number of digits displayed (i.e. Plugin just got a little ugly for other currencies).

I'll add something later to auto adjust to the decimal points.

Feel free to shout back here if there is a problem, I'll try fix when I can.

Thank you so much, it would be nice to see the value in zar, but this is perfect for now.
thanks
 
I extracted the ZIP and ran the exe. What am I doing wrong as I dont see anything resembling the widget.
 
Must have broken it :) Checking now

Sorry. I downloaded it, and extracted to another machine. Double clicked the exe, took about 30s to load.

Suppose I better add some error handling or a configurable popup.
