In Perimeter, in a certain citadel, there are orders of PLEX sale in batches of 10, all with the same quantity and price, and all placed in the same second. Obviously this is a very profitable way to manipulate a market, so my question is if such a bot is legal so i can use it ? ---

With multi-sell it is possible to make multiple sell orders at the exact same time now. It probably isn’t a bot, and if it is, it is a terrible bot. But no, don’t use any automation. It is against the EULA you agreed to. ---

No bots are legal. And I don’t know if the plex vault functions like a regular hangar, as far as stacks of plex. But it’s possible to shift-drag a stack of 100 items and thus split it into stacks of 10 each, in your hangar, then select all, and I guess multi-sell all of them at the same time. It would make more sense to me to sell the first 10 at some price, then the next 10 at a higher price, etc., so as the price moves up your orders get completed in succession. ---

It’s better to manage them in fluctuation sensitive prices, less risk when moving the total orders up and down in trade list (increase/decrease price), it is manipulating the market in some part, but more to protect the trader itself. (I could be wrong about this tho) And if it is a bot, it’s not allowed. ---

Just hopping onto this thread. What about just straight up AFKing and coming back to pull chat logs? Or other ways you can AFK extract info? ---
