The Unreasonable Efficiency Of Algorithmic Trading (Warframe)

The fact that 1 man can fix one of the endgames largest issues and a 300 person dev team hasn’t been able to figure it out for 10 years is exactly why the game is on life support.

Damn, the new Corpus story mode looks pretty wild

this feels like the epitome of "doing real life work... but not in real life" I love it lol.

so guys, this game is where you play as a space ninja.

when you play warframe so much you start to understand demand and supply chains, markets, statistics, and become a bussinessman

I was one of your trades. It's amazing how I suddenly stumble upon this, and having been part of its results. No other game has done that for me. Wow.

I find it interesting how Warframe is pretty anti-capitalistic in its messaging but has what is essentially a smaller scale simulation of capitalism with trading.

Programming and business/stats both in warframe. That's three birds with one stone, absolutely amazing video.

I was considering writing a program to do exactly this a couple months ago but ultimately decided that I'd rather spend my time running missions instead of trading. Seeing the results of someone who actually committed the idea is very interesting, and this video has really helped me appreciate how trading itself can be its own engaging game. Thank you for giving me a new perspective on a part of Warframe I've only ever engaged with on a surface level.

This is an insane video 😭 I’m playing Warframe first time again in like 10 years and I come back to see a video of a dude applying real life stock methodology to a video game and making actual profit, ur crazy dude keep up the good work! Great video editing also, super high quality work here 👍

You could actually turn this in an economics thesis. It very well done and i loved the video

Something similar to the daily trades point is also relevant for people who don't enjoy actively trading. Farm a ton and occasionally look for big ticket purchases that can be safely flipped, then occasionally sell anything big. If you're not in the buying and selling business as much, you can even save time by just selling somewhat low. That difference (the spread) is much less relevant if you're not trying to turn profits, the relative and absolute gain in plat you'd get for bothering is lower. Another tip for selling quickly and easily is to simply farm everything, and make it clear in your message that you'll have what people need, they'll save their own effort spent looking for someone offering their specific needs.

This is so cool lol. As a comp sci student its cool to see discipline and hobby intersect

Youtube algorithm brought me here and boy did I ever love this video. More of this kind of stuff please! As a professional game economy designer I think your approach here is really smart, and as a non-warframe player I was still able to follow along and understand exactly what you're talking about An extra consideration to add to your list as to why this won't likely constitute a ban is the built in restrictions on trading each day that is already built into the game. This limit helps prevent a massive race to the bottom and should afford the team ample time to react to imbalances in the economy.

Oh man I'm so happy I came across this. Thank you for the interesting video along with the great explanation! I've thought about doing high frequency trading in real life before and I've done tons of in-game market trading and your video is the only that makes it stick in my head! It totally makes sense now. Thank you!!

I randomly stumbled on this video (thanks Youtube algorithm) and I loved it. I'm not really that interested in markets and trading, but this was really interesting and how you speak and the video editing made it really enjoyable. Congrats on making such a well thought program!

This is brilliant. Not only the program but the content style and your manner of speaking. Definitely subbed and look forward to more.

Really inspiring to see this being done. Always had an idea of it in my head but don't have the technical know how nor the business acumen for it, so it's really amazing to see someone manifest this! Great work and mad respect!

Amazing video quality and break down of the process you went though. Great job man!! Love to see the open source mindset

Fascinating! I wish I was on PC! I learned a lot I hope you make more videos! Thank you, open source coders make my heart smile 😊
