thats how people maintain prices for certain goods

For example, I am selling $2,500 per point for tech, I would set a $2,499 standing order for that particular tech, so techers would see "hey there's someone asking for $2,499 , maybe if i sell higher it would still be bought, or worse if i need money urgently, I can sell it at $2,499.

I have no doubt that h2o has some very worthwhile secrets that we would all benefit from discovering.

That particular one, however, he is very welcome to keep.

FYI, no one maintains or has maintained prices with this useless information, seriously, standing orders for 1 unit? This is theory he is preaching here. Any basic grasping of economics will lead you away from attempting this. You want proof? Every set no one has maintained the price of anything. The market will determine that.

of course the number of players of each strat will determine the market price of the goods but this is just temporary (for the next few hours) even if tech is at 2500 and you put an SO for 2499, and if there isn't anyone buy the tech, it doesn't help of course, people will eventually recall and put at a lower SO

on FFA some people will set "ghost" orders during buyouts and tech transfering

sway you want to transfer tech through the market at $600. you cant let everyone know that is what you are doing, so you need to set up 3 orders in your main for the $600 because of the way SOs work, and then use another country of yours to set phantom orders for like 100 points at something more reasonable like $2000. this hides your transfers unless someone uses a third party site to watch market activity. it helps prevent people from stealing your transfer tech

there are a couple more steps to this, but i cant give everything away for free.
