The currency factor

During my first employment experience in Montreal back in the days, I worked for the world leading website for precious metals information and trading Kitco.com. With Alex, we developed a pretty sophisticated chart generation framework which is used to generate the thousands of charts you can consult on the site in real time.

Especially these days, I use these charts every day to analyze investment trends. Its cool to see some real life usage of what we work for.

The coolest feature of the framework is the ability to compare the price of commodities in different currencies. On the chart bellow you can see that on 60 trialling spot the price of gold has increased in Euro and decreased in US dollars.
