Scope: 1-day market activity snapshot
Today’s strongest short-term trading setups are concentrated in high-rotation food markets, especially Cooked Fish, Bread, and Steak.
These goods combine three useful traits:
Enough spread between bid and ask to leave room for profit.
High trade count, meaning orders are more likely to fill.
Limited 1-day range, reducing the risk of being caught by sudden price movement.
This report does not predict future prices. It ranks markets by current trading conditions.
Trading Attractiveness = (Spread % × 1D Trades) / 1D Range %The score rewards markets where:
The spread is wide enough to trade.
The number of trades is high enough for liquidity.
The daily range is not too unstable.
In simple terms:
A high score means the market currently offers a better mix of spread, liquidity, and price stability.
This is most useful for active traders, market makers, and players trying to rotate capital, not passive holders.


Cooked Fish ranks first with a strong combination of:
1.02% spread
8,069 trades
Only 1.67% daily range
Bread is very close behind. It has slightly lower spread, but even more trades and a tighter daily range.
These two markets are currently the best examples of high-volume, relatively stable spread trading.
Steak recorded 9,102 trades, the highest in the report.
However, its 2.24% daily range is wider than Cooked Fish and Bread. That does not make it bad, but it means traders should be more careful with entry price.
Steak looks attractive for active trading, especially if momentum continues, but it is less stable than the top two.
Limestone scores well because its spread and daily range are both around 1.24%, with 1,835 trades.
That makes the formula treat it efficiently, but traders should remember that very low-priced goods can be sensitive to tick-size effects. A one-step price movement can look large in percentage terms.
Limestone may be useful, but it should not be read the same way as Cooked Fish, Bread, or Steak.
Steel has a much smaller spread at 0.37%, but the market is very active with 7,832 trades.
This makes Steel more suitable for players who prioritize quick turnover over large margin per unit.
The opportunity is not the spread itself. The opportunity is the speed at which capital may rotate.
Wood has 906 trades and a 1.09% spread, but its 1-day range is 9.42% with -8.08% momentum.
That combination is dangerous for market making. The spread may look attractive, but the price movement can erase the margin quickly.
Wood is currently a volatility warning, not a clean spread opportunity.


Use the ranking as a filter, not as an automatic buy signal.
A good trading candidate usually has:
A score near the top of the table.
Enough trades to exit the position.
A spread large enough to survive undercutting.
A daily range that is not much larger than the spread.
Momentum that does not strongly move against your inventory.
A weak candidate may have:
High spread but very few trades.
High trade count but almost no spread.
Strong negative momentum.
A daily range much larger than the available spread.
These markets currently have the cleanest mix of spread and activity:
Cooked Fish
Bread
Steak
Steel
Light Ammo
These may be useful, but capital could rotate more slowly:
Limestone
Coca
Heavy Ammo
Oil
Paper
These have enough activity to watch, but their range or momentum makes them riskier:
Iron
Lead
Ammo
Petroleum
Wood
Case2
Cocain has almost no spread at the time of the snapshot. Despite having 1,386 trades, the available margin is too small for meaningful spread capture.
