Previous user of AT, never had any problems before. But this time round it just seems to be performing very poorly.

I've not used AT since the market changes to tax and broker fees.

AT started w/8bil good standings and max trade skills other than orders which currently sit in the 100-200 mark.
First few days given for it to ramp up. Now operating at around;

~0.25b Inventory Value
~1b sell orders
~4b buy orders

Max order value increased From 50m to 100m order install reduced to 30min last couple of days to see if that helped. No real change just higher quantities of the same non moving items.

Bot has gained an approximate ~1.5% 0.20 or less per day in value over the last week, But I think my tracking may even be inflated. It seems to be selecting either too competitive or too low volume items. I run the AT 3-4x a day for 1-2 hours. Within an hour or so of running, it has a spike of maybe 10 transactions then nothing (high competition). around 50-60% of Buy orders are for high value 1-3 items that just don't move so take up liquid isk and slots.


Any suggestions to make AT more profitable, at this rate it stands to make ~350-400m in a month with 8bil starting capital...
Even at 1% per day that figure should be more like 2.4b

UPDATE:
Switched to bulk seller, intending to recoop as much isk as possible and start again with better tracking.
plan to update history file and see if that helps, ETA on time to complete? V.Good internet connection 70mb-100mbs stable

с 8ккк максимальный ордер примерно 60-70кк, поделите 8ккк на свои ордера на скупке

максимальный заказ теперь 64кк, так как мы перезапустили с 5ккк 125 заказов, я посмотрю, поможет ли это

Я не говорю по-русски, использую переводчик, поэтому прошу прощения, если это не очень хорошо по-русски. но я думаю, что грубо ожидать английского

если остались ордера на скупку которые торговались со старыми настройками и зависли, то лучше их все отменить.

When bot install items to buy, buy orders not just taking ISKs and not moving, they are in a queue. Older orders have priority over newer orders. Bot knows what orders are older then yours by orderID and don't outbid such orders (*). Increase order duration till 30 days, this way you will see orders not updated for a week or more. These orders may be deleted (profit dropped forever or purchase speed is very slow). Other orders will start trade when they became oldest orders for the item. I believe order duration should not be lower then week now.

0.2% day means something is wrong. Bot fails to find items to trade or fails to download market data. Level your skills and update brokers fee and sales tax in settings. Perfect trader should have brokers fee 1.1% or less and sales tax 3.6%. Advanced broker relations is also important skill, will reduce relist fee which may eat profit.
