[REQUEST] Calculate projected profit from avg volume

Open jtrenaud1s opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

The idea here is that ER would be able to pull volume statistics either from the local history (if possible) or from ESI and calculate a moving average based on a configurabe time period (5 day, 7 day, 14 day, 1month dropdown choices), then take the already existing profit for an item based on its margin, multiplied by the selected moving average volume to make an estimation of the profit that could be gained from an item.

For example
I may see an item with a decent margin and a low-ish price, but the volume isn't great, meaning i may only make 2-3mil in profit per day for this item.

I may see an item with low prices, low-ish margins but high moving average volume, and may still only make 2-3mil in profit per day for this item.

I may see an item with good margins, priced at 1m buy and 4.5m sell, with a 2 week moving average volume of 30 units. calculate the profit for one item and multiply by the 30 unit moving average (or whichever option is selected in config) and this is what would be displayed in the window.

I've seen similar programs that just show a multiplication table of 1 unit, 5 units, 10 units, 50 units, 100 units, and so on to show estimated profits but this idea would simplify the process and require less math in-the-head.
