Market Discussions

Ok. Thx

also could we maybe get a FAQ page with some basic info about how everything works?

Hello all,

Sorry I have not been active in the thread lately, I have been tied up in my final project for my degree in college. I'm expecting to be done with everything 2 weeks from now, but I will still be working on the site during this time. Afterwards, I will devote a lot more time into the site.

To answer some questions asked:
Q: What happened to my account?
A: When we migrated to the new user database, I programmed the new database to reduce redundancy. I made the decision to not migrate the database to the new one, as no profit/transactions would have transferred either.

Q: Whats new?
A: Not much yet! I'm still recoding every function from the old site into the new one. These new functions will be streamlined and will load quicker. You may already notice some pages that would take ages to process on the website, to load almost instantly on the new one. I'll be working on order tracking, notification system (maybe also add a private message system), and maybe a community center.

Q: FAQ Page.
A: I have been working on making a tour of the site, with working example datasets (not just images). This will hopefully help people decide if they want to use the website.

Q: When will we leave beta, and start requiring a subscription?
A: This is still a while away, so the free beta will be up for quite a while longer. I do plan on having a free subscription, with the basic but useful information, and also a paid one. I'll have to work with the members to see what exactly the price point will be, and what features would be considered "premium", giving them an advantage over any other trader.

Q: Could we possibly introduce a tool where it counts the amount of isk we have lost when we have been tackled in a belt and are awaiting rescue.
A: We will be working on our patented insurance policy program over the next few months, and we will have a service for reimbursement soon! ;)

Thank you all so much for the support! We're already up to 100+ users without any public notification, and increasing every day. I hope not to disappoint you all, and hope to resume putting man hours into the site in 2 weeks time.

Thanks,
Jeronica and the EVE-Mogul Team

I believe we handled this recently today. I will work on adding more control to users and administrators soon. I should have a LOT more free time starting the end of this week that I intend to use with the site.

Hello Jeronica,

Nice start to your website. I have been trying to test it out for a day or so now, but I was wondering why some market transactions in the SELL category do not have the corresponding profit % calculation. Is this just due to not having the original price point the item was when BUY was initiated? The layout and design of the website is great, but more tools will be needed if you plan on generating monthly isk.

Here are my suggestions:

1. Investor reports could be a huge selling point. Most traders look for seed money to increase their market penetration into higher luxury items.

2. Net worth and current asset calculations would be helpful to see how much liquidity you have. You can base this on average volume of items sold for that asset to put a liquidity 'score' together. Basically how fast could you really firesale your "stuff".

3. Most active trade systems used for both buy and sell. Profit margin calculation by assets (like a top 10 list), and again raw isk generation regardless of margin. Volume is a big deal to a lot of traders; their margins may not be stellar, but their volumes are godly. Cater to those traders as well.

Good luck, and looking forward to testing more.

Reah is correct. It uses first in, first out. Take this scenario:

Buy 2 hurricanes for 1million isk.
Sell 1 hurricane for 2million isk(1mil profit).
Buy 2 hurricanes for 2million isk.
Sell 1 hurricane for 2million isk(1mil profit).
Sell 2 hurricanes for 2million isk (0mil profit).

I am looking at doing some coding soon, I'm just catching up on other smaller projects and need a good weekend with nothing planned to get some headway. I'll be looking to integrate all the old features (leaderboards, investor reports for public use, etc) first, then adding more features.

There is a lot of opportunities, for some great tools, the current bottleneck is time for me. I promise I'll be getting into coding again ASAP!

Love the continuing development.

Since the 0.5.7 update, the transactions haven't been updated. I don't think the cron job is working.

Hey, I was wondering - Do you know why I'm getting a Access Mask Invalid error?

Haha Scratch that, I got it working now.
I should get some sleep before posting in future.
Is the API pull borked?

Looks like an interesting site.

I shall poke around for security vulnerabilities.
