Just giving it a try, and it looks very nice. Much easier to track profits than my current Google docs way :).

One question though, is there a page somewhere that will show me my profit per item type? Ideally I would like to get a list of items showing how much profit I've made for each of those items in the last 7 days. For my current style of trading each item type uses roughly the same amount of effort to trade, so I would like to weed out the ones that provide little or not profit.


I'm currently working on a report that will give you the top profitable items per week, month, etc. I'm looking to include top items by profit margin percentage, and also total profit regardless of the margin. I've been adding code to the module for the past week here and there, but responsibilities in IRL have kept me from completing it yet.

Thanks for giving us a try!


Awesome!

That's great, thank you. I've upgraded to 'Elite' to try out the extra features too. Another feature that would be nice is more stats in the graphs.

Currently the graph just shows one time series, Profit. It would be nice if you could toggle on/off the following time series as well to plot along with your profit:

- Total ISK Sales
- Total ISK Purchases
- Total items bought
- Total items sold

This way when I look at my daily profit graph and see it fluctuate over the month and wonder why profit was down in some days, the 'total isk purchases' for that day might be high, indicating that I spent more time buying that day than selling.

And then, I also have a question regarding how profit was calculated in this screenshot:

http://postimg.org/image/o98df38lf/

I don't understand how 20,000 units sold at 5947.08 yielded 28M profit (to client MZ), and 2358 units sold at 5389.49 yielded 23M profit (to client C). And then there is 27,642 units also sold to client C, which had 0 profit, but right after that 2,000 units sold for the same price did have a profit.

I suspsect it has something to do with the buy transaction not having sufficient quantity for all the sales transactions due to some items being purchased before I started using EVE Mogul.

Am I missing something, or are the week/month leaderboards the wrong way around?

I'd be impressed if Abidal made more in a week than he did in a month :)

New user here btw, looking good so far!

This looks nice, though I'm not making enough isk yet, to justify paying - but once I do... :p

Do you mind telling which opensource framework the site is based on?

Just taking a stab, but based on the cookies the site uses I'm guessing it's http://laravel.com/

The leaderboards are correct and working as intended. You will see the current week reset Sunday at 00:00. A week does not change due to the month it's in.

Laravel 4 and Bootstrap are the core.

Some great suggestions! I'll work on integrating that as soon as I can.

Regarding the question on the profit calculations, you are correct. It will only calculate of there is enough stock to cover the transaction, otherwise the profit percentage may be off and wouldn't correctly reflect the profit margin.

@Luthias Austrene
As Tweety said, the month rolled over earlier today so the current month is now March. Last week will still always be last week :).

Quick question:
how long does it take for the site to update once ISK has been deposited?

Depends on the last time API was pulled. Generally, under an hour. In your case, your account is active as of 21:33.

Quick question, I noticed there was an area where you could pull your data from the old site but when I tried it it said the site was unavailable. Is that option still available?

Until a few days ago, I was enjoying the service.

It's been over 24 hours since I recieved a notification that my subscription was extended however I've yet to see a new API pull.

EDIT: Also, my uni's IP seems to be blocked, would this be something you'd be interested in looking into?

Now this is just ridiculous. My account is still not being updated, you haven't replied to the last message and I haven't seen any admins in the in-game channel. You could at least have a contact email on the site that you check daily. I expect to have my subscription reset back to 30 days.

Your API Key was flagged after you let the account expire. Ensure that your API Key is set to No Expiry. Contact your ISP/University and tell them to go here. Make sure to tell them that you are using their resources for spaceship games instead of academic research.

We apologize greatly for having full-time careers and families. We haven't received any EVE Mails regarding your issues. Seriously.

Thanks for the reply, and for extending the subscription.

I'm sorry for being impatient/rude, but I did go a few days without receiving any help for a service that I paid for.

Have you considered adding a Contact Us page to the site stating that it's fine to EVE Mail you, as the in-game channel (which in turn links to this thread) is the only means of communication currently offered. Also, it might be possible to create a notification on the site for bad API's which would prevent this from happening again.

Thanks again

EDIT: It's the first week, I have no research to do :) And I'm sure the University would be more interested in the people watching porn in the library than our spaceship game.

Okay, not to overly rage like the last guy did,

But I just got the subscription yesterday. Just wondering when the next API pull will be? Also, before I was able to login at my office. But now I am also getting the blacklist issue.


Thanks



EDIT: Figured out the whole flagged API, thing. As far as accessing from work. Do I really need to go through my IT and spamhaus or were you just messin?

Evening gentlemen,

I've been unable to dedicate some time to some coding. I really want to get some done, but I've been working a lot of overtime at my job over the past few weeks.

I've made the system unflag your apis whenever you re-subscribe, when your subscription runs out I have it flag all the apis so they don't pull. Apparently it's not unflagging, I'll take a look at that. A fix for the time being is just "edit" your api, use the same key/vcode, select character and save it. It'll just set the flag toggle to 0.

I apologize for the inconvenience, I know how frustrating it is to have something not be operational as expected. If the spamhaus blacklist module starts to become a huge issue, I'll disable it. We do have a contact information section, It's under about us. I'll add an easier way of finding that information though. FAQ is also on the list of things to do.

Thanks for the response.


No worries about the blacklisting. Im actually really liking the mobile layout. Maybe later on allow pinch to zoom function on profit graphs?

What is the EVE Mogul top trader information showing about?

I traded over 500m in 30 days before.
Would that have been enough to put me on that list?
