Analyses that cut across items and traders — the questions the raw API can't answer without joining several endpoints together.

Counts each taker action once (203 in total) rather than both sides, so a busy slot means real activity and not one order matching many makers.

How people trade

Do traders round?

Fractional part of every taker fill price

Whole diamonds6.4%Half4.9%Tenths9.9%Anything else78.8%

21.2% of taker fills land on a whole diamond, a half or a tenth. There is no strong round-number clustering: most fills land on arbitrary fractions, which is what a market maker quoting off a model produces rather than people picking tidy numbers.

Both sides of every trade

Select an account to pin its relationships and open its profile; hide any account to see the structure behind it

Hiding the market maker is the interesting move: it connects to nearly everyone, so removing it shows which traders have found each other directly.

Trader-to-trader

Via market maker

The market maker is a counterparty to 42.4% of all traded value. Take it away and 12 direct relationships remain.

Red paid diamonds out, green took them in — direction of currency, not profit: the receiver handed over goods worth it. Excludes the taker fee, which goes to the treasury rather than the counterparty.
