Prices are still going down, but the big drop we saw at the end of July seems to be finished. For sure now the mtgo cards are their bottom value...

MTGO Library Bot 9.93

ML Bot 9.93 introduces the "market share" info boxes on the Online Control Panel, on the dashboard, right below the central graphs (scroll down if you have a small screen).

What is there? The market share boxes tell you how your bots are doing in the Magic Online market, with reference to the number and the value of the trades. In the example below, the bots did trades for 0.91% of the value of the market in the last 7 days, and 0.89% in the last month (the bots basically earned a 0.02% share).




The idea is to give you a measure of "how much" you are performing compared to other bots, so you can answer questions like: "this week I did well: is this because my bots are doing well, or is this because the overall MTGO economy is doing well?". And viceversa: "this month I had few trades: and I losing trades and market share, or is the overall economy slowing down a bit?"

Control Panel v4 - Buy/Sell Consistency - Bot Manual

Buy/sell consistency is a great way to prevent unforeseen price fluctuations. This feature allows you to maintain a certain amount of profit on your cards for x amount of days.  

How it works: 
Buy/sell consistency ensures you make only profitable trades. Your bots won't sell a card cheaper than the price they paid to purchase it. Your bots won't buy a card paying more than the price they sold it.


In this example: 

Selling consistency turned on: Your bot sells a card at 6 tickets for the first 21 days if the actual price goes below 6 tickets then your bot will maintain a 6 Ticket sell price until 21 days are over or the market goes above 6 tickets.

Buying consistency turned on: Your bot buys a card for 6 tickets it will maintain a 6 ticket buy price for 21 days then if the price went to 7 tickets on the 22nd day your buy price would increase to 6.50. 

Real scenario:

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver in a 3 month period had 2 major spikes

On September 6 2014 Buy price spiked to 9.86 then dropped 8.20 sell price on September 10 2014 with out buy protection You would have bought them at the highest price and lost 1.66 per card purchased. 

Then on October 8 2014 the price jumped from 8.18 buy price to an 11.14 buy price on Oct. 11th, then on Oct. 14th the sell price dropped to 7.825 with out buyer consistency you would have lost  3.31 per card purchased during that spike.
