In simple English
This program shows live charts and order books for crypto markets. You can watch trades, depth, and candlestick patterns in real time. It costs nothing to download and run, but you need your own exchange accounts or data feeds. It runs locally on your own computer without cloud subscriptions. You might need some patience if you compile it from source code.
