Why does volume matter more than the percentage?

Because percentage change measures the last trade, and on an illiquid pair the last trade can be tiny. Volume tells you how much agreement there was behind the move.

How is the change calculated?

From the exchange's own daily change field, which the pipeline converts from a ratio to a percentage. Bitfinex reports it as 0.07 where it means seven per cent, and printing that raw would understate every move by a hundredfold.

Yes. It comes from The public Bitfinex v2 ticker, refreshed through this site's pipeline. Nothing is invented or simulated, and if the source cannot be reached the saver reports that instead of drawing something plausible.

Biggest Movers Screensaver

The Biggest Movers screensaver ranks Bitfinex's entire listed book by 24-hour change, showing the traded volume beside each move so a spike on an empty market is distinguishable from a real one. It runs in the browser with nothing to install; press ESC to exit.

How the Biggest Movers screensaver works

The saver reads The public Bitfinex v2 ticker, refreshed through this site's pipeline.

No account and no key: the request goes straight from your browser, or from this site's own refreshed copy of the feed where the source does not permit browser access.

Values are drawn on a canvas that resizes with the window, so it works on a laptop or a wall display.

If the source is unreachable the saver says so on screen rather than showing stale numbers as though they were current.

A worked example

Each row gives the pair, its percentage move and the volume traded. Read them together: a forty per cent move on a few thousand dollars of volume is two people trading with each other, while a four per cent move on a deep book is the market actually repricing something.
