Thanks for the answer. I am not talking about orders in the exchanges orderbooks I mean the tradebook like trades that were actually confirmed

<p>I'm sorry in advanced if this questions are dumb but here goes ...</p>

<p>Does all buy/sell bitcoin related transactions made in exchanges get logged in the blockchain? if so can they be found and/or tracked somehow using API?</p>

<p><strong>Example</strong></p>

<p>Given the following data recieved from BTER API describing some transaction in the BTC-CNY market</p>

<pre><code>{
    date: "1442039516",
    price: 1544,
    amount: 0.01,
    tid: "11958597",
    type: "buy"
}
</code></pre>

<p>Is it possible to find the from/to addresses of this transaction? if so how?</p>
