It's definitely nice but feels too tightly coupled with the PHP+MySQL web stack, it's too big of a hurdle to install these two just for the purpose of storing some numbers and showing a simple HTML page with a javascript line graph.

Maybe consider:

- not storing the data in any database and instead fetching it through javascript when the page loads; sure it might take a couple of seconds to populate on first load but it's a small price to pay for the benefit of not requiring any database or server-side refetching cron jobs; most of the exchanges have publicly accessible APIs for fetching candles for every market.

- using a simple node.js express server to serve the (now practically static) HTML page

I've been working on something similar for my own perusal. My dependencies are sbcl, gnuplot and an image viewer that can do a slideshow: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZSKsy7ZMOpNjrfY8wbQ...

You'll always have dependencies.

My graphs need a little more info like a label for the left and right y-axis.

The OP's design does look now modern although I do not know what "hackable graph builder" means.

Nice work! To be clear I'm not against dependencies in any way, by all means reuse whatever you can get. I just think that in this particular case using two pretty massive pieces of software like apache and mysql is overkill.

I'm afraid you're right! I will try to find the best way to use less dependencies.

I was just considering the option of not hiding values on the y-axis. Thanks for your suggestions.
