Market Discussions

Starting with an escrow percentage of 100% at Level 0 (untrained skill), each skill level cumulatively reduces the percentage by 25%. For a maximum reduction of approximately 24% total escrow at level 5.

This skill makes eve market seems like a furture market,but it's not the same.

As we known,In the furture market,margin is a performance bond ,you can short selling or buying long,Price raise up & fall down every second,the same to your margin.Loss or profit.In case of loss or if the value of the margin is being eroded, you have to restore the amount of margin available.If you don't do that ,you can close some positions until balance,if things always turn worse,your money will "boom" like a eve ship.The worst thing is:maybe you have to repay to the exchange.

But in eve,this skill is useful for fraud.Some guy place a high price order with huge quantity, he sell the same things too.This skill help him to use less money to place large order,If you find the price difference,and believe the buyer is a fool ,you will be fool.When you buy till the order quantity ,you will find that you can't sell what you just buy ,the order will cancel.The fraud sold out his merchandise and lose nothing. It's funny that the same function makes reverse effect,

I'm not a victim,but I think it's a good idea to make eve market and this skill the same as furture market.

1,Fraud will disappear,good news for newbie.

2,The Commercial activities increase,TAX TAX TAX

3,Isk evaporate,money become less,price will fall.

4,If you don't have enough money , you can use this skill to gamble , rich or penniless, your two choice.

5,Another place to watch fireworks.

Lol - maybe he's taking a new reductive approach to the traditional wall of text?

Yes you can be scammed using that skill but it's always been like that. If you think you've found a real gem of a trade and you're going to make a **** load of ISK, and you also think no-one else has found, well... In EVE if it looks to good to be true then it probably is!

@OP - Hm... I see you haven't trained the "Forum post formatting" skill yet. Next time, please do us all a favor and buy and train that skill .

I think blank made article easy to read，my enter key works fine.Vision is the biggest problem for computer users.

No, it makes it look like a list of unconnected points. This makes it harder to read in the way that it should be read (as a series of paragraphs) which means that people either ignore it or have to focus on the screen for longer to make sense of it.

Please, just write a post in the normal way it makes things so much easier.

So if I let some one borrow 100 Acolyte II's at a set price wouldn't that technically be considered shorting?

A contract tool might be the first step in the right direction.
