Market Levels

Track how much of each item you care about is currently on sell orders at a chosen station, and compare its live station prices against a market price source. It answers "which of my items are running low, and how are they priced?" at a glance.

Open it from the left sidebar under Market / Trade.

What it shows

Items are organised in a two-level tree inside a single grid:

  • Collections — optional top-level folders that group related market groups. Rows without a collection fall under a synthetic Default folder. Collections can be expanded/collapsed, renamed, and deleted.
  • Groups — a named watch list tied to one station and one market price source. Each group has a multiplier (× applied to every item's target) and an optional max price over source %.
  • Items — the individual types you monitor inside a group.

For every item row the grid shows these columns:

Column Meaning
Target Your per-item target quantity (editable).
Tgt Total Target × the group multiplier.
Avail Units currently available on sell orders at the group's station.
Diff / % Available minus target total, and that as a percentage. Green when at/over target, red when short.
Mkt Price The reference price from the group's configured market price source.
St Min / St Avg / St Max The lowest, average, and highest sell-order prices for the item at the group's station.
Diff / % (after each of St Min/Avg/Max) The station price minus the market price, as ISK and percent. Green if the station price is above the reference, red if below.
Build Price Cached material cost per unit (from the build-cost cache), if available.
Volume (m³) Packaged volume per unit.

ISK values are abbreviated (K/M/B). A dash (—) means no data is cached yet for that item.

The toolbar shows a status line (group/item counts or messages) and a "Data from …" timestamp indicating how old the cached order data is. The grid auto-refreshes about once a minute.

Using it

Create a group

  1. Click + Add Group.
  2. Fill in the dialog: group name, optional collection, station (only stations with cached sell orders appear), market price source, an optional max price over source %, and a multiplier.
  3. Click OK.

Add items to a group — use the group's + Item button, or right-click for the bulk options:

  • Add Items From Fit — pulls every module/charge/hull from a saved fitting (skips implants, boosters, and invalid slots).
  • Add Items From Market Group — adds every published type under a chosen market group (you're warned before adding more than 100).
  • Add Items From Blueprint — adds the materials for a blueprint, either the direct bill of materials or the whole production chain, at a given runs/ME.

Items already present in the group are skipped automatically.

Adjust and organise

  • Edit an item's Target inline; it saves immediately. The group multiplier scales every item's target total at once.
  • Click any column header to sort items within each group; click again to reverse.
  • Use + Collection to create a folder, then set a group's collection via its Edit dialog. Collection rows have Expand all / Collapse all buttons.
  • Right-click an item for Open in Item Browser or Delete Item (Delete key also works on a selected item).

Tip

The per-item price deltas make this useful for restock pricing: if St Min sits well below your market source, your station is the cheap seller; if it's above, there's room to undercut or a restock opportunity.

Notes

  • Each group needs a station with cached sell orders and a market price source. Configure your price sources first — see Configuring Markets. If a group shows "No cached orders", run market pricing to populate order data for that station.
  • The market price source dropdown includes an "— Asset Default —" option, which uses whatever source is set as your asset-value default.
  • Build Price only appears for items whose build cost has been calculated and cached.
