Great service, great graphs now I can flash off how many loans I give to people!

Awesome tool, I recommend this very much.

I also support/endorse this service :3

Thanks for the feedback.

Lord Drokoth, I've set your graph to public as requested. For future reference the control is on the "Home" page when logged in, and you can also access a private graph with the special link provided on the graph page (which doesn't require you to log in).

Isk, could you look at the "Kath Yeva" trader, the graph seems to think she only has a wallet, despite the accurate total at the top. Its showing a total Escrow & Sell orders as 0 isk in short.

Ah I see, its fine now, thanks :)

Hi Tubrav, some of the code is quite new and untested so thanks for letting me know where the problems might lie.

The first issue you mentioned is your graph not appearing immediately after you sign up, this is because the whole system is a bit delayed in fetching your API information, which I'll admit isn't very user friendly. I'll have a look and see if I can improve this one.

Regarding the second issue, that's a rehashing of the first one. The wallet data API call has a different caching time to the market data one, which means the wallet and market data are out of sync, so when you first sign up you see your wallet data before your market data. For reasons I won't go into the script which works out your total worth uses more up to date data than the graphs, so you see that 5.6b figure before the points appear on the graph. Looking at the graph now you appear to have quite a few datapoints, and it looks like the total seems to match. Let me know if the figures are correct.


Edit 1: Good news! I discovered that for whatever reason, your API key is returning market orders (as normal) but is also returning a large number of cancelled/deleted/expired orders. The API documentation I was using said that (post Incarna 1.0) only active orders would be returned, but apparently it's wrong. My code was counting your expired orders towards your total. Luckily all original data is kept so I was able to retroactively fix the problem. Now you're worth about 1.5b, rather than 5.6. This issue doesn't appear to have affected anybody else.

Unfortunately CCP doesn't provide historic data for wallet or market orders, so it's impossible for me to show you how your wallet looked in the past :(

The graphs you see that go back much further have been members of the site for months, the oldest ones are my beta testers. My own graph is 9 months old :)


In other news: I split the list of graphs (the one you see when you're logged in) onto its own page, it didn't make sense to put it on the homepage.

Edit 1: In response to the second issue you raised, I've changed the code slightly so it should update a bit faster. This isn't a full fix but it should make the graphs appear sooner for people who just signed up, and should display data that's a bit more up to date for people who are already signed up.

Yeah a few people have suggested asset wealth. Currently the system is gathering asset data, but there's no code to calculate asset prices and display them. Calculating the price of an asset is rather difficult as CCP doesn't give out market data, but luckily eve-central has median prices, so it should be possible. I'll see about doing it next week I think, got a few other things to tidy up before then.

Some news:

I've spent a few days working on getting asset wealth added to the site after several suggestions from users. Asset graphs are still being tested, but I've added a page which lists your top assets along with an estimated total price which is available right now. This page "Top Assets" is currently private by default, so you will need to log in to see it. Price data is taken from eve-central.

Make sure your API key supports assets, if it doesn't there won't be any data to display!

Due to all the poorly tested code changes I've made there may be some bugs, so post a reply in this thread if you find any.

Thanks for pointing out the error. I spotted it myself last night and fixed it.

The 'graph within the graph' for assets has already been created but I've left it in a testing mode for now. Currently there are performance issues as some people have 10000+ assets, and the server takes snapshots of these dozens of times a day which means I end up with millions of database rows to sort through every time somebody tries to view a graph. The solution is to do the same thing I did with market orders and pre-compute a lot of the statistics. Unfortunately this kind of pre-computation means I can't let you change how the asset wealth is calculated very easily.

Anyway I'll let you know when it's working properly and not taking 30 seconds to load a page :)
