I desubbed last year but before I did I sunk a lump of liquid into product and forgot to record how much for.

Now I'm back I'm trying to fathom out how to see what I paid. My journal won't go back before I resubbed. Is there a way to find out?

It doesn't matter what you paid for it. You will never get that money back :)
What you have is a marketable product. You should be concerned with the sell price, not the buy price

The fear of loss is a disruptive thought construct that we should free our minds from. IMHO.

This.

It's something that I struggle with a lot, but ultimately once you've bought something you've bought it. It doesn't matter if you can sell it for a profit or not, unless you want to keep stacks of **** that you've picked up over your lifetime in the hope that they'll someday be profitable like some crazy hoarder, you just sell it for the price you can get and move on. Even a small amount of isk is generally more useful that unsold stock from a misguided investment.

No if you haven't kept track of it before with third party app or otherwise.

Is there an API call that will go back further than the in-game journal?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: The wallet journal API returns 1 month worth of data with a maximum of 2,560 entries per call. That means if you've got more than 2,560 in a month, you need to implement what's called "journal walking" and call the API several times, passing the ID of the oldest journal entry from the current API result as a parameter to the API endpoint, which then will return enrties older than this one. Repeat the last step until the API returns an empty result.

Exactly this.

Learning this lesson saved me literally billions when I had 20% of my NAV tied up in Rattlesnakes on the day the escalation changes hit.

My response: "Oh hell, sell sell sell, dump on buy orders, evacuate this market now!"

Could have lost billions if I was insistent on getting the previous week's price for all my stock.

Ideally, it is best to formulate an exit strategy before you invest in the first place. You can set some criteria for when you will exit a market in the event of price drops. By doing this before becoming financially and emotionally invested, your decision-making ability is much better.

You will do fine if you can act logically at the time of a crisis, but too many traders let emotion cloud their judgment. A person clinging to their share of a plummeting market can lose much more ISK by being unwilling to accept a loss than just dumping the inventory and moving on to the next trade.

I really appreciate your help.

I want to say I am already aware of this info though. I was asking the question because I was curious what I paid. I've made profit already, just wondered how much.
