It's a fairly standard order book view, with a nice log of trades on the right hand side. For most real exchanges (eg ones trading shares or commodities), this view would be impossible without some kind of downsampling as there would be too many trades/sec to display in real time. Your monitor probably isn't fast enough, let alone your browser rendering stack.

Oh the log is cool but I was more specifically referring to the order book with the spread, and the "green on the left, red on the right" view in the middle that shows the market.

I would like to see such a view for regular stock markets but I don't know where to go. The stock exchange interface of my bank, for example, is far from showing such a nice thing, only a bare order book with only a few lines.

I found TradingView to be very good. I.e. https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=BITSTAMP:BTCUSD

They also have regular stock symbols.

It's sometimes called "level 2", stock markets do charge fees for access to the feeds - at least the LSE did when I worked on a site that showed the information :)
