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
- Click + Add Group.
- 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.
- 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.
