I had to tweak the code a little to fit my needs, but so far after a day with 1b I managed to make 60m not bad for doing almost nothing :P

What kind of merching is this script used for? Flipping the items it suggests instantly? Or doing short term merches where you hold on to the item for a day or 2. And how do we know at what point to sell? Just wondering. Im testing the script out now buying things randomly lol. Just want to make sure im not doing it wrong.
It is for short-term merching. It will suggest what to buy, and if you say "yes" it will save that you bought it at X price. The next day (after GE update) it will run through all the things you've bought and see if they should be sold or not. It will ask if you want to sell them, and if you do then it will save that they're gone too. Everything is saved in a file so that you can open/close Simba at will. Just be mindful that when it says "is this your first time" at the start, it will re-write the file so don't do that or it won't know when to tell you to sell.
This scripts buys and sells on its own?
If you keep making money, do you have to update the Cash amount in the script? Or does it keep account of your gains?
Wait never mind i've fixed it Will report back with any profits!
Depends on what kind of dumb you're suggesting you might be .
It sounds like you have it in "Backcheck" mode, in which it will simulate the last X days (a setting you determine) and tell you how much money you would have earned if you made all the investing decisions as recommended by the script.
To have it make recommendations you should turn "Backcheck" to false and when it says "is this the first time running this script" you say "yes". It will then grab prices again and say "would you like to buy X?" and you can determine yes or no. To be extremely clear, since a few people have asked recently, this is not automatic so you have to do the actual buying and selling in the GE by yourself.
Alright so I got it to run however I get this error now:

Line 997 is this
Code:Result[j] := StrToInt(tempPArr[j]);
Yeah I'm just running this to see how well it predicts the market
In the OP:
"RS limits requests for prices. Changing the script from backchecking to not backchecking will force it to re-grab prices. Do not continually change this setting or you may cap out on price requests"
That's the error it gives when you've maxed out the server requests. Wait 10-15 minutes and it should work.
Congrats on the first release!
P.S. This is a great looking script, might try some time.
I'm gonna look into giving this a shot and see how things go, i'll report back to you once I do and let you know how it runs. Looking forward to making some money
I've used this on four items (I know not a great amount to test with) and all four items have continued to crash the day after I've bought into them. So at the moment I'm looking at around 300k loss which isn't a big deal but those four items I used were based on my own judgment and the scripts recommendation. I'm unsure how those items have crashed so hard though as they are pretty commonly traded items.
Hmm, pretty small sample size so far, but keep in mind that by having 20 or so items you'll spread out the risk a lot more. I also suggest that this is short term investing, which means somewhere around the 5 day range. Hopefully they come up in the near future. It's extremely difficult to predict the future!
hey, i've just tried to set up the script for the first time and i got this error how would i go about fixing it?
PHP Code:
Setting up INI file
Getting RS Prices, this may take a few minutes
[Hint] NumSamples overflow: Could only gather -1 samples
Error: "" is an invalid integer at line 997
Execution failed.
The following bitmaps were not freed: [Minimap Mask]
If this is the very first time you're running the script then it could be a little problem. That error means you've maxed out your RS price requests. If you actually ran the script once right before this, it would make sense. There is a warning in OP that tells you not to run the script over and over because RS has a limit of price grab requests. Try running the script again and see what happens.
Quick question: Does the "first time using" terminology apply to each individual RS account you play with? i.e. Will it create a separate .ini file for each RS account you use with Simba? Bit of a noob here ha
It will not create individual account .INI files, good question though. If you want to use two accounts I would suggest making separate folders, a copy of the script in each folder. It should save/load INI files from the folder the script is in, so they won't interfere with each other.
Thanks for that. Is there a way to link our .ini to a stats website so we can compete against each other? Perhaps sometime in the future! Ha. I'm going to read through the script now. Does it take into account possible future variables such as double xp weekend etc? I'm interested in financial modelling. Incredible how the RS economy functions, 50K people online at any given time, all doing something...ha.
Interesting script! Looking forward to testing it, provided it is still functional.
