Incorrect daily change calculation #106

Closed sushant-here closed 4 years ago

sushant-here commented 6 years ago

Hi, I've noticed that the way your calculating daily change percentage is (in my opinion) incorrect.

EG. assume... day open is $100 current price is $120 the daily change would be $20

btcmarkets.net calculates the percentage as 20/120100 = 16.16% however it should be 20/100100 = 20%

Is this a known issue or an 'industry standard'?

Hi @sushant40

Thank you for your feedback.

We have released a new version of trading API with improved ticker information. https://api.btcmarkets.net/doc/v3#section/Introduction

The new Ticker API data for daily price change, low and high price as per below example: https://api.btcmarkets.net/v3/markets/BTC-AUD/ticker

Please also note that day refers to the past 24 hours. If you come across issues pls let us know.

Thanks.

Regards, Martin
