Gounads Vyvorant United Technologies Group Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 0	Posted - 2013.04.17 02:40:00 - [1] - Quote Hi guys, I'be been working on a trading tool - http://www.eveopoly.com/ All it does is match sell orders in one system with buy orders in another and spits out a list that you can go buy, transport, and then sell to make a profit. There's a video on the site with a slightly better explanation. Any thoughts?
Nykr Native Freshfood Minmatar Republic 7	Posted - 2013.04.17 03:33:00 - [2] - Quote video private. website is setup and looks like any scam website on the planet
Caleb Ayrania TarNec 137	Posted - 2013.04.17 12:27:00 - [3] - Quote Looks promising.. Though it does suffer the same webservice trust issue problem.. Some transparency would be useful..
Gounads Vyvorant United Technologies Group Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 0	Posted - 2013.04.17 12:38:00 - [4] - Quote Oops, fixed the video. Not sure what's to trust. Not asking for your API key, not doing anything automatically on your behalf. Just giving you a list of orders to go check out. You can validate it yourself against buy & sell orders on the marketplace. To be clear, this isn't giving you a theoretical calculated price at which to buy and sell. It's giving you actual buy & sell orders that match up Thanks for the feedback!

Do you mean the trade finder? This is different in a few ways. More real-time instead of batch based Finds trades via multiple systems at once instead of 1 -> 1 Calculates profit with tax/brokers fees included so you don't get screwed by bad math. All that lets you snatch up deals faster. Speed really counts for these. I'm using the same data feed as eve central. ( http://www.eve-emdr.com/ ) Price history isn't really relevant. This is a "Right Now" immediate gratification tool. This is not for buying low and selling high in the same station. I like to think of this as the wholesale distributor side of things instead of the retail side.
Jacques-Benigne Bossuet The Advent of Faith 2	Posted - 2013.04.17 14:52:00 - [7] - Quote I see, that actually could be a fairly useful tool, the batch system's latency can be a pain and has bit me atleast once (fortunately things that I just had to wait for them to swing back in my favor) and the taxes issue was a pain the first few trades. As to the price history, I did a quick bing search and found something, so it already existed. GL with your new tool though, I will be keeping an eye on this thread "An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is an adventure wrongly considered." G. K. Chesterton
Vincenzo Arbosa Badabing Salvage Corp 8	Posted - 2013.04.17 15:31:00 - [8] - Quote If you'd stop advertising the site it would probably be useful. Ha ha. I can't get it to work and it says only 10 people can use it at once? Seems like it would be a useful resource (very similar to eve-central but with different data - more info means better chance of profit), but if you have 30 people going after the same deals it isnt very useful.
Kara Books Deal with IT. 536	Posted - 2013.04.17 15:49:00 - [9] - Quote I think this is a great tool, but you would want to add a capcha or something like answer this question randomly to make sure no one makes an automated program just for that site. and a little message "if you like this site please disable adblock...." Just my 2 cents. also if you update it often and if actually going to be accurate unlike..., it would certainly beat eve central and some other site that doesn't immediately come to mind for traffic.

Yeah, the more people who use it, the less profit per person there is to extract. An inherent problem in this sort of thing. Overall, it makes the free market more efficient. The 10 person thing isn't actually true anymore, upgraded to 100 today (I use pubnub for the realtime stuff). Leave it running, you're only getting deals it finds in real time, and not stuff it found in the past. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, sometimes a bunch pop up right away. Quote: Does it only go from hub to hub? Are there other systems inlcuded? Right now, it's just Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens, Hek -- I've been using it that way to fill up big courier contracts, and it's easier to get couriers in the bigger systems. I will probably expand it to either all systems, (maybe all hisec) or at least a larger subset. The problem with adding more is the computational resources to do this increase quite a bit the more systems I add. I'll have to optimize a lot before that. (hey, I banged this out in a day, quick & dirty for now) Short-term, know of any other high volume systems to add? Quote: I think this is a great tool, but you would want to add a capcha or something like answer this question randomly to make sure no one makes an automated program just for that site. and a little message "if you like this site please disable adblock...." If bots becomes a problem, I sure will. I doubt this site would ever get enough ad revenue to pay for the resources it consumes. Right now, it'll cost me something like $50/month to run. At some point, I will probably look at some sort of isk based payments to get access to it. That would also solve the too-many-people, not enough profit problem. Have any of you actually made some isk from it yet?
Gounads Vyvorant United Technologies Group Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 0	Posted - 2013.04.17 17:14:00 - [11] - Quote Also, stay away from the Experimental 10MN Afterburner I -> Amarr order that keeps popping up today for 77,000 - almost surely a scam.

You can filter buy orders with "high" minVolume Thanks, added a couple more of the top stations, and I think I will implement that minVolume thing. Maybe even limit it to minVolume=1
Zappity Kurved Space 33	Posted - 2013.04.18 04:57:00 - [14] - Quote Yeah, I use a similar tool which only started giving relevant pointers when I discarded anything with minimum volume > 1. How do you get the real time information? I just use the eve central dump. (The delay is usually fine for me because I compare weighted average buy prices vs sell prices and target buy/sell positions with longer durations). Hooray, I'm l33t! -á(Kil2: "The higher their ship losses...the better they're going to be.")

Quinzel Nikulainen Kokako Acquisitions 165	Posted - 2013.04.18 15:10:00 - [16] - Quote If my understanding of EMDR is correct (which it likely isn't, I cannot into EVE development) the latest third party announcements are about to lay a brick on it.

It's pretty much a cluster-F!@# of conflicting information. My guess, is at the end of all this it'll still be fine. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2899381#post2899381
Gounads Vyvorant United Technologies Group Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 0	Posted - 2013.04.18 16:56:00 - [18] - Quote Quick update - I had the cache settings on the site set up wrong. If you've visited it before you might be seeing an old verison. Do a shift-reload on each page and it'll fix it for you. Also, shouldn't happen again after you do that, new versions will automatically update.
Zappity Kurved Space 35	Posted - 2013.04.18 20:56:00 - [19] - Quote Thanks guys, I'll have a look. Hooray, I'm l33t! -á(Kil2: "The higher their ship losses...the better they're going to be.")
Gounads Vyvorant United Technologies Group Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 0	Posted - 2013.04.20 17:27:00 - [20] - Quote New version today includes: A column per source-station instead of mixing them all up. Really helps when you're making a shopping list of what to buy from one place. You can also hide columns if you don't care for that station. (make sure to scroll left/right now) New algorithm for finding deals. Before it just looked for the most profitable from->to route. Now, it finds all possible and display them in a nice table format. This leads to a much bigger profit potential. For example, I just let my page open for 1 minute and found 238 million isk worth. There's a link to eve central so you can check prices easily.
ratuchikaka Endless Void Inc. 0	Posted - 2013.05.07 23:29:00 - [21] - Quote I've using it a couple of hours today. I only got 1 false positive, great resource. It'll be nice if each item's table showed on the bottom the total ISK amount you need to invest and a percentage gain.
Aanxis Xerrex Brave Newbies Inc. Brave Collective 0	Posted - 2013.05.16 16:35:00 - [22] - Quote Is the site offline?

Gounads Vyvorant United Technologies Group Friends United Seeking Influence and Notoriety 3	Posted - 2013.05.31 15:51:00 - [24] - Quote A little bump for people to see it.
Daniel Plain Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 1155	Posted - 2013.05.31 16:27:00 - [25] - Quote looks very promising so far. what i would propose are adjustable filters for profit and volume. if i don't have a freighter i do not need to see deals with 1000000m3 and profits below, say, a million or so are also less interesting.

Dan Endless Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.06.01 09:03:00 - [26] - Quote Looks lovely, but 1B ISK is a bit too much, considering there is already EVE-Central and EVE-MarketData, which basically offer the same service
Nathan Gorden New Conglomerate Tenth Mount Division 1	Posted - 2013.06.15 19:56:00 - [27] - Quote Is this completely down now?
