Tip: As you can see, I never put all of my cash into a single trade.  I just took my trades down to show you.  This is quite typical that I would be trading 50mGP over each of 5-6 items.

I use Advitica Merchstation to rapidy identify what items to trade according to my favorite strategy.

Have You Been Scammed by a Merch Clan?

Here's how a lot of merch clans work:  They tell you to buy an item when in fact the leaders are selling their items to you!  They ramp the price up and a lot of their own clan members get burned. 

This is what they say: "trust me", "it can't fail" and "if you sell early you will get banned".   They may firstly ask you to promote their clan to get ranked.  They tell you to buy "the item" that some clan leader has hand-picked and has secretly bought stock ready to sell to you. Don't get involved with these types of merch clans unless you want to lose your money.

I'm sick of seeing these rip off merchants get away with their tricks.  But guess what - this software helps you to instantly identify price moves in the market, even before any announcement.  This software keeps a close eye on what's going on. So you can beat them at their own game :)   

Advitica MerchStation Advanced Software

The market scan uses up to the minute information about item prices to select a range of potential items to merch. It gives you the item, recommended buy and sell prices and the recommended strategy to use.

This screen also gives a popular stock market indicator known as 'volatility' - a measure of how hilly or flat the graphs are. This helps you learn real world stock market indicators while having fun in the game.

You see the item that you should be merching to make maximum profit changes daily and even hourly.  Sometimes by the minute.  Other people are scanning the market manually.  It's tedious work and often too late.

Fundamental Trades rely on the top 100 most traded items.  They are very safe, because of the massive volumes of trades.  This style of trading is similar to commodities trading in real life markets.

The market scan looks at the graphs to work out whether or not each of top 100 most traded item is suitable for applying a fundamental strategy. 

It used to take me a long time to find a good fundy trade.  Now with the market scan it only takes a few moments.   

Realise that tens of millions of each item on the top 100 list gets traded every day.  This is a very good market to be in if you are using the right strategies.

Fundamental trades provide a slow but consistent way of making money but technical and speculative trades are more fun and have bigger profits and losses.

The market scan looks at items that are moving up in price and analyzes the graphs for buy and sell signals.  Of course you still need to check the graphs but already this is proving to be very effective in identifying good technical trades.

The software identifies buy and sell signals with a high degree of accuracy and displays the changes in direction by a green or red dot on the graph.  This introduces the important concept of trading to a system instead of just trading on emotion.
