Market Analytics in EVE with Ruby

Talkat Wicked Good Ruby 2013 · 2013-10-12..10-13· [ruby, data-visualization]
speakerdeck:dougalcorn
slides:none on file

Extracts live EVE Online market traffic via the zeromq market data relay into a local database, parsing JSON with a Ruby zeromq client and Faraday for API calls. Runs about 200 messages per minute into ~1 GB database before pruning, single-threaded Ruby drops messages so a DigitalOcean host is used. Computes min sell / max buy, spread, markup and a velocity metric (spread × avg quantity), finds average quantity most predictive, and automates undercutting orders by a penny to regain top-of-book.
