How hard would it be to add a field that is letting me set a hard price level in the graph? Like a "red line".

Say I want to monitor Antimatter Charge S market based on 10ISK as price. When I set a red line on 10ISK, I could then see how the market is behaving compared to my 10ISK line.

Custom redline, eh?

Adding fields can be a hassle with the limited real estate here, but I'll hit up the programmer and see what he says.

Anyone had a look on Sisi recently? Tried out the settings and features?

Click and Pan
New Y-axis numbers
Dynamic scaling
Relocated reset button
Optimized performance
Focus window memory across sessions

I just got back from Australia and am just catching up on all the news, but what's on Sisi right now is hitting TQ on Tuesday, I believe.


This is quite an improvement ! Really much better.

Two things though:


  • There is no memory. If I carefully scale/pan graph for some item, it's immediately gone if I switch to 'Show Table' and back again to 'Show Graph'. It would be nice for that to persist at least if we don't switch to another item (between graph/table/details). If it persisted across other items, even better.

  • When we move cursor over graph's median dots, it would be nice if it also showed low and high prices as well in tooltips, eg something like:

    • -date-
    low - (yellow+bold)med - high

    instead of just

    -date-
    med

The updates rolled out on TQ look great, the market window works so much smoother now. Awesome!

But there's one problem that still makes it weird to use, and that's Y axis labelling system. I've re-read the thread and it was mentioned one or two times before, but hasn't been addressed yet.

In my opinion, values on Y axis feel weird because of the way we as humans talk about the prices IRL. For example, we don't tell each other "hey i've got a really cheap deal on a Tengu for zero point fifteen bil", yet that's exactly what we see in the market graph: http://i.imgur.com/MLklqhh.png. So generally we talk about billions in price when the price exceeds a billion, and we talk about millions when it's below a bil; same goes for Ks or Ts, or at least that's my impression on how people generally talk about prices.

TL;DR — if only you could change Y axis labelling to something like this http://i.imgur.com/3yJGOBv.png that would make it far more readable than now.

P.S. The volume chart in the bottom doesn't need fractions (because volumes aren't fractional) so you might round them next release :D

One more thing, which was mentioned earlier as well - let it scale initially based on prices in selected period, instead of the whole year (or add an option to select one or the other).

How is my custom red line doing? Maybe put the info field in the market quick bar as a label. You can already make a note in the quick bar on an item. I already have the price of each of my sale items on them.

I would like to see a right click export as png/jpeg and a copy link to chat..

Ideally the graph should show what, where and when somewhere graphically a bit better for export purposes ofc. Which is also a nice thing for current more clunky screenshot grabbing..

Oh and in a near future would be really nice to be able to have more items showing in ONE graph window, so a detach and drag drop items to add more things in one graph would be pretty amazing..

Its related a lot to my wish for option to open and share market details, without live refresh and link them and have more than one open at the time.. So not with browsing, or live refresh, but just the market "quote"..

This would be a nice step towards adding the same global/universal market benefit that out of game 3rd party tools give, without breaking the servers or the "fog of war"..

Was mentioned earlier as well:

Just use millions where appropriate, billions where appropriate and so on. In picture above "0." is a waste of perfectly useful 2 characters.
