Merchent trading

Explaining the trade window.

Green Trade Iteams

From what I have been able to discern, below is a rough interpertation of the green priceing.

Staple Foods is priced at $92 which is a 90% increase resulting is a difference of $61 above average. I have no clue were the % is comeing from yet but will try to figure out.

So far I Know that watching the price difference (+61) is a good temp guid to increase funds.

Red Trade Iteams

Again very similar to the green but just the oposite.

Copper Is $35 after a 4% decrease in the average at a loss of $92.

Buy low and sell high. lol

The greater the (-$) the great the profit.

And watch the stars the point to good trades and to low risck trades.

If you are buying: The lower the %, the better. And a negative % beats a low %.
Selling the other way around :)

See screenshot for example of negative % which makes a great buy!

I tend to believe the % is the chance the product has to go down in price (which is something you don't want when you buy). So lower % is better. And a negative % is a guaranteed rise in price.
