Market Discussions

Nice application so far.
One thing: Your assets manager calculates all blueprint copies as originals and bloats up the total worth.
Also - is there any way to use a corporation api key for contract sales tracking / corp assets?
(For example when I buy stuff, fit a ship and sell it via corporation contracs)

//Edit:
Things that would be really nice to have (or I am too stupid to find them):

- A dashboard for ALL characters at once. It should give you an overview about the last sold items with their profits, statistics about locations (in which station you made the most profit in a given timeframe - more charts! ) and so on. Right now I have to manually tab around the different chars to get an overview.

- Some kind of "shopping list" for finished or nearly finished orders, sorted by location (station where the order finished).
That would be a really useful feature, so we don't have to manually check whats out of stock or whats going to be out of stock in the next hours (And probably order new stuff before the old one sells out).
Maybe in combination with the trade assistant, so it tells you at the same time if its profitable to buy that out-of-stock-item again?

- Maybe a checkbox to mark transactions as "private" (and hide them from all calculations). I just had the issue that I bought some items quite a bit overpriced, because I needed them for myself - and the website got those prices as buy price for my already existing sellorders - and thus marked all following transactions with a negative profit.
Another example: I bought a PLEX via contracts and sold it at the same station for a profit. Some hours before I bought a PLEX in another station in the same region and used it for myself - the tool market this transaction as negative profit.

Keep on doing this, your tool is awesome and way better than all existing ones out there!

Any chance for someone using this to write a review I can host on the lounge web site?

I just added another quality of life improvement

You can now check if your orders are currently up-to date or have been undercut in the Market Orders page. Data is updated every 6 minutes. This does take a while to check if you have a lot of them up and will probably stay this way until I find a better way to control request limits.

Market Orders still update once an hour, though so this isn't 100% accurate (it's only going to check orders that already exist in that page). In future I might find a way to update market orders in real time as well but no promisses.

Thanks! It's great to see others finding it useful.

I'm not sure what you mean with dropping characters, though. Do you simply login to find your characters gone or something? Username would also help me investigate this.

I see, I've been trying to find a permanent fix this particular issue for a while now. Seems to be a bug related to local caching.

If it happens again just drop me a quick mail or send a ticket trough the website and I'll hotfix it for you instantly when I'm available.

Hi, I have the same problem since the last downtime. Could you fix it for me pls? Username is: basslinebill

Thx bro

Cheers bro, donated 10$ for this great tool. Keep up the good work! :-)

Just a small update: I noticed some users with a huge amount of transactions (50k+) were experiencing sluggish login times, and for that I changed the way profits were calculated and stored. If you had a similar problem in the past, things should be significantly faster now (some users went from taking 120s logging in to 20).

I'm also open for ideas for new types of statistics to display.

Things like best trade routes or market blunders (transactions with very high or very low profit margin) which often result from price typos are already on the list.

The way profits are calculated is by assuming the first inventory items are sold first. Sometimes it means it will pickup some older items you've bought in the past, and it doesn't necessarily mean that's the case everytime, but unfortunately that's all you can do when it's not possible to track items individually with the data available in the API. The reason you're seeing negative profits is because the tracker is just matching older buy orders for that item (should be easy to verify in the transactions page).

In some days I will be creating a new feature that will let people mark particular transactions as *insignificant* and removing them from the tracking queue.

In any case I'll take a look at that particular case when I have time.

this has great potential with a nice and easy to understand UI! and will hopefully replace my aging and out of date eve mentat and other ailing tools.

with that said I humbly request two things of possible.

1. add something that'll open say a DCU 2 in the market from the website.
2. could you add a "suggested new price" for undercut orders and have the option to auto-copy into clipboard?
