A new feature is currently in testing, market campaigns! Campaigner will allow you to create a campaign, either buy assigning item types or specific buy/sell orders, start and end points - and will present you with a breakdown of everything that occurred during this point.

You'll get to see a list of what you lost in fees, what you spent, the actual profit you earned - and a lot more. Sexy graphs an optional feature. This is currently working with some bugs, but I'm focusing on it over the production discovery tool at the moment due to my brain derping on recursive material requirements.

Ah, something small..

Could you put figures. like ISK to be right aligned.

Currently like this:
96,151.66 ISK
60,170 ISK
1,421,456.08 ISK

Its makes it difficult to see through the figures. Perhaps thats just me, but i think its easier if it were right aligned, and 2 decimal places.

......96,151.66 ISK
......60,170.00 ISK (Added Decimal .00)
1,421,456.08 ISK


I think this is great work you have done thus far. so two thumbs up!! :)

This should now be in, let me know if I missed anything. I also finally increased the length of time that the site will actually remember you, at which point I realized I should probably add a "log out" option...

I've now added a "please wait" overlay to pages that call in external content, which is to say... most of them. It'll save you looking at a blank screen of market orders or assets and wondering whether it's broken horribly.

Now, there's currently a bug where the "loading" overlay on the overview panel will hang. If it hangs for more than 10 seconds, please refresh the page - I'm working on implementing a better (well, one full stop) timeout failover at the moment.

A simple trading/profit a loss account.
1) open accounting period, records assets as stock level.
2) close accounting period, uses assets as closing stock,
3) Calculate Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales
4) Cost of Sales = opening stock + purchases in period, - closing stock.
5) Calculate Net Profit = Gross Profit - expenses (Rents, Fees, etc.)
6) use closing stock value as opening stock of next accounting period.

This is currently in progress, well - a few things are, I'll try to break them down.


  1. Profit calculation using FIFO and weighted average methods.

    2. Market order campaigns, you specify a start date, an end date and either assign orders or item types. It'll then give you a breakdown or what you spent, what you made, any fees paid, etc.

    Stock management and accounting, which is quite similar to what you specified above.


I'm hoping to have 1 and 2 out within the next day or two, it would of been sooner but I encountered some problems in my calculations, which seem to be working far better now. Stock management should be in by the weekend.

Yea, i think you did miss something. Its cool now cause it is right aligned, but i would keep the apostrophes in.

999999999.99

Is easier to read like this,
999'999'999.99
or
999 999 999.99
Know what i mean?

BST now has it's first (and most simple) report tool, a NAV calculator.

Bitter Sea -- The transactions overview now links to a transaction details page for each transaction ( http://bitterseatrading.com/files/web-app-16.png ), and from there - to a journal reference ( http://bitterseatrading.com/files/web-app-17.png ). Following on from this, we now have a wallet journal page \o/!

We'll be undergoing a 1 hour downtime from 6PM to 7PM server time today in order to allow for infrastructure changes. Following on from this, we'll be out of public preview and in general release. At this point, there will be a rather extensive announcement. o/

We're now out of public preview and are in general release. Whilst there are still some bugs outstanding, I'm happy with where the platform is currently at.

Features

Alerts and notification service, setup a trigger to alert you via email or SMS when an order expires or a price threshold is breached.

Asset tracking and management.

Contracts tracking.

Industry jobs tracking.

Journal and transaction history.

Market orders overview.

Panels and widgets.

Reports and analytics suite.

Tools, such as an Ore Refinery Calculator.

Roadmap

Ability to alias location names, such as Jita 4-4. (17th April)

Known Issues

Asset management currently does not look in to containers, fittings, etc. As a result of this, NAV calculation is also out (due to not accounting for these items).

Transactions and orders sometimes duplicate, this is an extremely rare occurrence. This is fixed at 1AM GMT every day.

Current Metrics

Quote:
Active Accounts: 915
Assets Tracked: 261,984
Contracts Tracked: 5651
Cumulative Balance: 1,479,668,597,894.40 ISK

Feedback

For general comments and bug reports, drop an email to hello@bitterseatrading.com and I'll be in touch as soon as possible. For feature requests and suggestions, please use the ideas board available over at http://bittersea.uservoice.com/ - I keep a fairly active eye on it.

Data Protection

Your data is safe, this is the usual spiel that I will never sell your data on to a nefarious 3rd party (such as Goonswarm). It's also safe in terms of actual data security. This is as simple as I can phrase this part!

Donations

Bitter Sea is, and always will be, a free service. There will also never be any hideous (or pretty) adverts on the platform either. Feel free to drop donations to "Kou Avery" or "Kouryusei" with the reason "BST" however. o/

Doesn't it worry anyone that this guy ran a scam when he was last in game.

Wasn't just leaving game for baby. Before any RL events he tried to change tack, start votes to avoid paying divs.
When he claimed RL stuff he apparently found time to do other stuff with his ALTs, got called out, didn't answer and then quit.


If you say sorry is all forgiven??

I came back after a three year hiatus, paid back quite a lot of ISK and now enjoy playing the game. If having to take a step back from the game is considered scamming, so be it - your concerns have been noted, you are not forced to use this tool.

And wait, I found time to do stuff with my alts? That's news to me. Could I possibly borrow your tinfoil hat?

Edit: Following up on this, if I missed anyone when paying back, please kindly let me know. o/
