Daily Market Report

Guest · Post by **Guest** » 26.11.2007, 19:55

Would it be possible to add a feature to the stats area that would compile a daily market activity report that would show a volume traded and the trade weighted price for all of the commodities that trade in a day?

For example:

Product Qual AvgPrice Volume
Steel 0 136.45 93,000,000
Steel 1 139.75 27,000,000
...

I would love to have some idea as to how much of the raw materials: wood, stone, steel, power, water, coal, iron, etc. change hands in a day, what qualities are most sought after and what the going prices are.

why would you buy q0 steel at 136? you can buy as much as you want for 135

Well, it could be anything really.
I was just saying wouldn't you like to know how much power or cotton or whatever is trading hands and what prices? The only thing we know right now about prices is from the stats page and that only tells what the finished goods average prices and average quality are.

Heh, I asked for that myself 8 months ago, and people have wanted it for years in the German version. For whatever reason, it hasn't been forthcoming.

However, I believe that "SPB Corp" made a point of checking the market daily, and then graphing the results. We discussed a bit how accurate of an assessment that was, but it provided enough data to see and predict trends. I believe he did it for Stones and Power, two of the most heavily-traded products.

I'd like something like that, too.
