I tell people who want to get into trading that no one is going to give them any info unless that info is to the benefit of the giver.
However I like to be a little helpful so here is a tip I've used before.
When the little Green Line on the Graph page is above the little Red Line... BUY BUY BUY!!!!!
When the little Red Line on the Graph page is above the little Green Line... SELL SELL SELL!!!!!
When the fat brown boxes behind the two lines are huge, someone is manipulating that item.
When the little yellow dots are all in a line and steady, No one manipulating that market and there is probably hardly any competition.
When then Little Red Line and Little Green Line are about the same, And the Brown box is really small, and the yellow dots are all in a row and you have a huge surplus of that item, Load em up into a hauler, haul them to noobie stations and deposit gifts for people because becoming the "Gift god" is what made Chribba a god amongst men (Hi Chribby).
There is your indispensable market tip from SencneS.
Well, my question is in regard to this post. Is it necessary to have a working knowledge (and a math degree) of the the market graph to be successful? - the lines, boxes what do they all really mean?
She says its indispensable information but I find it a generic statement that could not even begin to shed light on the market graph ui. I see that in the game the red line is labeled as Moving Avg (5d) - whatever that means. And the other items have labels such as Donchian channel and median day price. Whatever this is so cryptic.
So does the red line = high sell orders?
So does the green line = low buy orders?
So if the red line is way over the green that means there are extremely high sell orders with very low buy orders equaling a great potential for profit? If so I can normally surmise this information just from looking at the details in the market data of x item.
Does this graph averaging regional, system or galaxy wide information?
Still have no idea what the yellow dots, brown boxes or green graph at the bottom suggest.
And what is manipulating the system?
I seem to be in a critical mood this evening... but holy crap man, you seriously can't just type some of these things into google before coming here? You have to make *some* effort yourself. Do you seek help when you need to take a crap or remember your own name?
Some of the terms may be confusing, but I'm sorry, if you can't deduce for yourself what 'moving 5-day average ' means, you have no business looking at the market window in the first place.
Seriously. It means exactly what it friggin says.
And even if you can't figure it out, go to google and type in:
"what is a 'moving average'?"
And it will be explained for you at great length. Use that tiny shriveled raisin you call a brain for once, you might be surprised what it can do.
You should only need to post here if there are discrepancies between google-acquired knowledge and the way the game behaves.
