Reading the figures

Badge Meaning
OBSERVED Measured value: an AH price seen in a scan, or an NPC price from the game files.
ESTIMATED Computed value: a robust reference, a margin net of the AH cut, a liquidity score, or a "Classic reference" quantity.
PREDICTED Model output. It always comes with a date, a horizon, an 80% interval, P(rise) and a confidence level.
UNKNOWN / INSUFFICIENT_DATA No reliable value. The app shows "—" instead of a made-up number.

Amounts are shown in g s c (1 g = 100 s = 10,000 c).

AH cut

The Forever AH cut has not been published yet. The app uses 5% (the Classic value), labelled ESTIMATED. Change it under Settings once you have checked it in game.

Daily routine (about 5 minutes)

  1. Overview: net worth, opportunities, 24 h forecasts, scarcities, events, alerts. Click AI briefing for the consolidated recommendations from the 8 analysts.
  2. Opportunities: start with vendor arbitrage.
  3. The AH price is below the NPC sell price, so the profit is locked in the moment you buy.
  4. Next come flips, statistical opportunities that carry a risk. Read the explanation before acting.
  5. Strategy optimizer (in Opportunities): enter your capital and a risk level. The plan:
  6. caps any single item at 25% of the capital, unless it is deterministic arbitrage;
  7. keeps a cash reserve.
  8. Before and after each trading session, record your trades in Portfolio. A listed price is never counted as a sale.
