Help me understand the eve market window and the tab called "Price History"

If i want to get information of what is the average price of an item in a specific system, how do i do it?
Or is average price only for the region im in?

What should i use, graph or table?
The graph is easy to get a first glance grip on, but i dont really know what each line means and does. Anyone care to explain the graph?

The table is also a bit confusing, what does it tell me more exact?

Historical Price data is for region only. However, it only applies for things which have actually been bought/sold, not the mere existence of orders.


As for what the table tells you, it's just:
The date, the number of orders which saw activity, The total quantity of items that moved, The lowest price for that, the highest price and the average rpice.

The graph shows you the same details,

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3454183#post3454183 Is a post I wrote in reply to a similar question.

For me, the table is more useful, as it easily gives you the lowest, highest, and average as easily readable values.

From this, you can easily check if an item is selling outside a hub, and whether it is going to both buy and sell orders.

how can you see if the item is being sold outside a hub?

Is it because you can compare the prices in high/low and compare to market in a specific system?
like if the low coulmn say 1mil and high say 2mil
but the trade hub only have the item for 3mil.
then you know that the item have been sold in another system and not in the hub that you are in?

If the low is 1m and the high is 2m, you can then check the main market screen and see where in the region it is being sold/bought.

The low price/high price may be due to fat finger errors or market mis-sorting, but, if, say, the low price is 145673.54, then you peek at the main page and see where this order is located.
