There are two tables, one shows the live bitcoin price in various currencies. For example:

Dollars     US$601.01
Euros       E   541.06
...

The second table, is 'My Balance'. For example:

Bitcoin     0.5
Dollars    300.50

And since the start of the thread, the quantity of bitcoins has gone up by 0.00000224.
It seems to me like the balance on that exchange is kept in USD, and not in Bitcoin. Therefore, your balance tends to increase or decrease based on the price in USD. I can't be completely sure though. Something isn't right with that exchange.

Okay. Well thanks to all for your help and explanations. Things are a little clearer now Smiley Any suggestions of an exchange that I can use as an alternative?

I take it you're looking for an exchange where you can trade altcoins like on Bleutrade? Personally, I've always liked Bittrex, I've tried a number of exchanges but always end up going back to Bittrex. I've never had any problems there, support is good and deposits/withdrawals are processed reasonably fast. Poloniex is also very good.
