Perspective › Examples

Market — Themed

3-panel dashboard of Datagrid, X Bar and Candlestick: Data grid of id, side, security and price, sorted by timestamp; X Bar chart of if("side"=='buy'){-1}else{1}, grouped by bucket("price", 0.5), split by side, filtered to status == open, sorted by bucket("price", 0.5), with 2 computed expression columns; Candlestick chart of price, price 2 and price 3, grouped by bucket("timestamp", 'm'), filtered to status == closed, with 3 computed expression columns.

Candlestick, live order book and blotter over one simulated feed.

Data

A simulated order book streaming into a Perspective table in real time: orders are created, filled, cancelled and expired continuously, and every data grid, pivot and chart updates incrementally as they arrive.

Generated continuously in the browser by a JavaScript simulation streaming into a Perspective Table.
