I just started at the market trading biz. I was just wondering if there is anyway possible to get the total (or close to) amount of buy orders in a region that you are in? This question can also can be asked the other way around too with sell orders. I know how to get the total quantity in the region by veiwing the history using the table. But is there a way to get just the sell orders or just the buy orders in the region because I need to know how much to buy for a certin amount of time.

For example lets just say I want to place buy orders in dodixie for 250mm Rails for 200,000 each. And lets just say that the total of them buying and selling in the whole region is around 100. But I want to know how around how many buy orders and sell orders there are in the region to make an estaminet on how many buy orders I need to place in order to get them filled in a few day or a week or a month.

Is there a good way to found out how much time I want buy and sell orders to be filled?

I tried my best to make this clear as possible so forgive me if you get confused. Oops

Thank you

When you look at the market data tab, of an item, there is an export button down at the bottom. Tried that?

For the market history table, you can get a rough estimate by using the average price.

The low price will usually be the buy price in Dixie (But cross check), the high price will usually be the hub too (Again, check with the market data screen).

If the average is closer to the low price, it is going to buys mostly, if it is at the high end, then it is going mostly to sells


200mm Railgun 1 Price History

This is the price history in Sinq.

196k is dixie buy price, 219.994 is the sell price in Dixie.

Main screen 200mm Rails

The price history says they are mostly going to buy orders, in multiples of 5 or so, but there are sometimes a few bought from sell orders.
