Hello,

We are actively working on providing Real-time streaming Bit Coin prices, historical data and complete trading support. We initially will be supporting MTGox.

If you are interested in other exchanges, please let us know what they are.

We wish we had done this sooner. We did have a discussion more than 2 years ago with MTGox about providing Sierra Chart to their customer base but we did not go forward with at the time because we were just too busy with other things and were a little concerned about the poor reputation of Bit Coin at the time because it was being used on not so legitimate websites and at least one government was not happy about it and looking into it.

At this time we can see that it does have clear legitimacy so we are actively moving forward with support for it now.

What really is good about this is that it is decentralized and there are no exchange fees for market data. Still though it does have a long way to go. And commission rates can be high when trading in big quantities.

At this point, it certainly is experimental, and none of us know what kind of technical problems can occur with it as time goes by. But we do think that the concept is an interesting one. Certainly it is not a replacement for true real money like gold and silver and other hard assets, but it does have at the very least some role in the marketplace at least for Internet-based transactions.
