Price Action
You have probably seen STEEM/BTC and SBD/BTC charts already, so I thought I'd show you something new. Here is a 6hr OHLC chart from STEEM/SBD trading on internal market. It took a pretty long time to scrape fill_order history for all active traders, and clean up the data, but it was worth it :)
