Live market data and its implications

Hello, I've integrated live market data via authenticated CREST into EPM, and the implications are staggering. I don't have a mouse-wheel-spinning twitch-gaming aspect to my business, but when I update EPM to allow Update Sell Orders and Update Buy Orders to be refreshed many times per hour, the head spins. My subscribers won't have to cycle through their items, they'll simply set a short timer, look at the current report, and grief to their heart's content.

Has anyone else integrated this win-EVE button into their spreadsheets or processes?

Just remember, it's a 5 minute cache. (yes, I know all the caveats with that)

Woo! CSM XI!

Five minutes is a deliciously short timer which coincides nicely with the rate at which orders can be updated.

Cough cough, back at the time I updated my orders every 30 seconds...

You know, splitting orders and stuff...



You might think it's not relevant, but at least part of those who'd benefit from getting a software tell them about their orders are exactly those who trade a lot. A lot includes fast changing markets. Fast changing markets @Jita means it's hard to get a slice of the pie if you wait for 5 minutes each time.
