Also, a refresh button for the market window.

Color coding, thats pretty nice but, maybe do it in a way where Only humans would actually be able to make use of it.

[list]If CCP were to release a Trading Only Expansion, what would you like to see included?
Tools? Added functionality? Secondary market support? Removal of price ceilings/floors? etc

Option to disable auto-refresh of the market order window

Big no at viewing other regions.

when most people will get an alt dedicated to that skill alone, in around 6 months you've got everyone(who can) with that skill. making it a mandatory thing to be competetive, instead of a bonus.

just like the learning skills etc.

Fix the most recent day's invalid data in the graph in price history.

Overhaul the price history graphs to include usable real world technical indicators. I'd like at least the following :

MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) - allow custom short, long, and EMA period
RSI (Relative Strength Index) - allow custom period
ADX (Average Directional Index)
SMA (Simple Moving Average) - allow custom period
EMA (Exponential Moving Average) - allow custom period
Williams %R - allow custom period
FSTO (Fast Stochastic Oscillator) - allow custom K period, custom D period
SSTO (Slow Stochastic Oscillator) - allow custom K period, custom D period

big no to anything serverside

please keep it clientside with easy import/export

Also: an expansion that focusses on trading? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! What have you been smoking and where can I get some?

GÇóColor coding market orders
GÇóSelection of multiple orders for cancellation, etc
GÇóCreation of folders within the market orders window
GÇóModification of the range, expiration, and quantity of existing orders
GÇóPrice history: show the quantity of sells/buys
GÇóPrice history: a filter for stations

I didn't think anyone made serious speculative plays in eve. That's interesting.

You are officially my favorite person for today

p.s. updated
p.p.s. formatting is fun; hopefully I didn't butcher people's suggestions too much

New isk sink similar to locator agents. Instead of locating a toon's current system, identify a market order's toon. I would gladly pay for that service.

... stuff ...
2)Add an option for each account to recieve 1(or 2, or 3, or how many seems reasnoble) if you have been out-bidded on that specific order.
The reasoning is not for us traders who check their orders, but for the PvPers who don't bother with the market because keeping track of it is insane. This is why the limit is for ONE order. or TWO. not 250 orders.(this should have a minimal effect on lag aswell).
especially useful for orders on different regions, or nullsec orders that are left for 3 months without checking.
Actually the more i think about it the less this feature is really needed, yet i'm not too sure if it would hurt.
most traders would not use it, it's for the non-traders to get into the market for a bit.

I don't see eve releasing a purely trade based expansion (stuff that is not war is boring, a burning ship captures imagination more than a sci-fi new york stock extange), but the lot of ideas I support, and hope/expect ccp will incorporate them, we do after all have yellow orders currently.

Suggestions are though more fitting for assembly hall.

I have a dream...

Bank

integrated and working stock market

how to make it work? i have no idea, but a game of megacorporations yell for one :)

I have a dream...

He is a f***ing troll. The nontraders don't want us to get improvements. They think we will take over with our ISK and mercs.

Who's a nontrader here? Not me.... But in over 4 years of playing I can't think of a single profession that got less love from CCP than trading. At first I thought of mining, but that got the Orca....

I might be thinking too big here:

1)Add a buy list that tracks if you've got an active buy order for that item, and list in what regions.
Color the item red if you don't have a buy order anywhere, green if you do.
also you should be able to set a status on an item if it should be tracked or not in the buy list. Sometimes you stop trading an item for a while, and you don't want the list to be full of reds.(meaning the item will be in my buy-list, but won't change colors).

2)Add an option for each account to recieve 1(or 2, or 3, or how many seems reasnoble) if you have been out-bidded on that specific order.

Didn't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been already suggested:

One thing that has annoyed me is that when you're managing hundreds of market orders and also want to have some fun with flying missions/explorations, usually after you've updated all the orders, you have no more time for other stuff - well, except for hauling trading goods. So how to change trading skills so that you can be active trader and also enjoy other aspects of the game without loosing profits when doing so? Here's one suggestion:

First of we would get new skill(s) for trading, let's call it something like Galactic Tycoon, which would require Tycoon 5 and possibly some other trading skills. Now what this skill would do, is that it would allow trader to use several new modifiers when setting up market orders:

• Starting sell/buy price
• Price change at interval (negative or positive)
• Automatic price change interval (2 weeks at skill level 1, one week at skill level 2, four days at skill level 3, one day at skill level 4 and 12 hours at level 5), interval how often the market order price is changed automatically by the server if there are competing orders present at the order's jump range
• Order ending price, the price won't change below / or higher than this value (depends on market order type), prevents the trader from selling his goods below the price he bought/manufactured the stuff

What this skill does is that it frees up trader's time from updating the market orders and he can enjoy flying those ships and have some fun instead of looking at boring spreadsheets - however those who manage orders constantly could still 0.01 ISK these tycoons who let the orders manage themselves at thse intervals since they would still be able to change the orders every 5 mins. So basically this skill would be beneficial for trader who manages his orders rarely/casually or to someone who has a own trading hub. The interval values are just example values, there could be even more advanced skill that let's you reduce the interval down to 30 mins or so. Above modifiers could be tied into several new skills instead of one.

so you're suggesting making the trader a bot.
also; why don't you focus on freeing some time of the mission runners? they work hard to make a profit, and have no time to have fun on themselves, can we fix that somehow?

This should never, ever be changed. EVE would loose some of it's 'Drama-Potential'. The same applies to ideas like "region-wide buy order for high-sec only".

I personally think mission runners should not be wining about this. If they think it is unfair, then they should start trading. Mission runners that are missing out on this, are missing out at their own fault. Start trading or stop crying "no" and "unfair."

All I want is a quick button for "sell item". Right click, sell is taking to much time...

Or maybe there already is one and I dont know about it? Would suck!

trading is already the fastest way of making isk, WAY more than missions.

Why beef up something that's already very good?
eve is not the trader's game.

Full complete information along with automation is the worst thing you can do to eve's economy.
And hopefuly it will never happen.


Johnny

Asked for a replenish, top up, add stuff to orders button, see the convo over here.

Sorry, but I do not get what you are trying to suggest. Can you please add more details?

Sorry, but I do not get what you are trying to suggest. Can you please add more details?

Sure, I asked CCP_karkur for a button that can add stock to your active order.

Sample case

Order X has 500k pieces of Y.
Over time it sells.
After 24hrs 300k pieces of Y are left.
I want to set it back to 500k pieces of Y.
Now I have to cancel the 300k order, compliment it with 200k stuff, put Y back on the market.
At that moment I pay extra Broker fees and Taxes for stuff that was already on the market.

Goal:

Order X has 500k pieces of Y.
Over time it sells.
After 24hrs 300k pieces are left.
You place 200k pieces of item Y within your hanger.
You hit the REPLENISH button on the order, and set the count on 500k pieces.
Then EVE takes taxes and broker fees of the additional 200k Y.
The market order is now 500k pieces of Y, again.

Hope that makes it clear.

Thanks. I like the idea. It keeps you from paying more broker fees or having a back flow of extra items when waiting for enough units to put up a second sell order.

An actual stock market.

Not sure how it would be implemented, but a bourse for corp stock would be all kinds of speculative fun.

Dear Forum,

absolutely we need a Economy Expansion. You guys already made pretty good points, especially on the stock market, monitoring and usability.

Lots of good suggestions; glad to see the support.

Make it possible to SHIFT click the YES or NO button when putting non empty assambled containers within a contract,

Its the way for me to label stuff that will be contracted out on a contract by an alt, but I dont want to think about setting the contracts at my ALT, just want to accept the stuff and ship it immediately. When putting the stuff in containers and then contracting them to my ALT with a label of destination on the container, I can do this. But before I can close the contract, I have to click OK, a lot!

In MS explorer and Total Commander you can confirm overwrites with such a SHIFT click for example, when doing so, all questions about this specific issue will be dealth with the same, so all non-empty containers will be allowed into the contract. Thx.

"Option to disable auto-refresh of the market order window"

This has been realized, not? its a setting within the market overview settings.

"Make it possible to adjust an order within the market window"

This one can be removed too.

Thanks. Xaqa and I are working hard on stressing this and to get more support.

Great, because the economy is the a core feature of EvE :-)

I am more replying to the second comment. I do not see the usefulness of using the window I use as a reference for deciding the new price of the item I am modifying and then changing tabs to the order I am modifying. I prefer to keep them separate so I can see the latest data and the modifying order request at the same time. This comes in handy when actively watching a specific item, playing the bid game with other real players and bots of the lowest scums.

Would love to see derivative trading. It enables people to place bets on turns in market prices BOTH ways (not only up by stocking up on tritanium, which has an inflationary effect, but also down by speculating on prices going down). It would also help provide additional profit opportunities, and for some spectacular busts. I can also dream of many interesting schemes to pull off using this functionality. It should be guarded, obviously, by large amounts of collaterals insuring that the losers will stump up the cash.

A small thought.. Would it maybe be a good idea to make a new thread about this, since it looks as if the OP is not posting and editing his original posts anymore..

I just happened to notice that a lot of the points have actually already been granted to us..

Also a side note, would there be any interest in maybe having a video conference session discussing things like this, and having it recorded, via a hangout on air, and post edited for the highlights, using links and remix?

I am personally expecting the services like googles hangout on air, to start kicking in very effectively into the gaming community..

Especially for things of this nature, bughunting, and strategical play (fleet ops and raids in other games)

This is another example of those arguments for player to player moderation option.. on the forums..

If the OP had had the ability to set a few trusted or selected people as moderators, the edits could and would be made, regardless of real life breaks..

The same would be relevant for many other threads and services.. I think the lounge is on its 3 version thread, and I havent even seen a thread from signatures for a while..

Since we dont have active and engaged/invested forum moderators, the alternative is an option for us to self moderate..

Yes it would mean you can not expect "free speech".. but in someones thread according to ccp policy that is the OPs personal thread and thus his rules. Living up to this rather old official statement from ccp would be easy by just granting a feature like this, and see if it would not make their life eaiser and the forums more hospitable..

3. An improved corporation involved trading system. The mechanics of corporation orders taking up personal order slots just make traders in little want to trade for corporations.

4. The trader role in corporate roles needs a few limits tagged to it. It is like giving someone full access to the wallet. That would be exactly like accountant or accountant by division role. This makes them no different and even exactly the same in my perspective. The trader role need to have limits according to percent of regional average.
