Trade Strategies (Little Upsilon)

My trade strategies in several of my countries have been resetting to default settings of new countries (start at 90% and increase 10%, start at 108% and increase etc) every day or two.

Anyone else having this problem? I've changed my trade strats away from this three or four times in several countries.

My country does the same thing

You's arent the only ones.

The GM is telling me there's nothing wrong. Ive sent several messages to them which they didnt take too seriously. Maybe they'll take notice now there's two more having the same issues.

What automation settings do you have currently checked / on?

It's not the automation settings. The trade strats reset randomly every day or two.

A lot of the corps have been ceo corps as well.

Happened again today. Yesterday set my trade strats on corporation page and double checked automation page. Automatic setting page the strats stayed the same, but on the corporation page the settings changed on their own.

This has been happening since the recent updates.

Yeah, mine reset either today or yesterday again too.

Strange.... my CEO one works fine, but not my country one.

Every time I try to set the country corporation strategies it resets itself to quality at 10 points below my current output quality. I reckon I am losing a lot of money and I'm getting frustrated!!!!!!

I thought it was working, but no!!

In Feb 2878, I set the selling strategy for 10 and 5 respectively and buying strategy 0 and 5 respectively. I used 'set strategy'. On refresh, every corporation was showing as it should be.

I then went back to the form and selected 'skip' - do not interfere any more with my settings!!!

Immediately, the buying button reset to time based, but the selling button remained at skip. So I was hopeful.....

Then in Mar 2878 I checked again. All the selling was set at quality -10 (not +10) and the 'lower' figure back to 10 not 5. The buying was back to 108% and 'raise' to 8%.

Still a problem. How is this supposed to work? It seems OK with my CEO corporations and is working as I anticipate it should.

One of mine reset again.

yeah, same problem here. the trade strats and supply qualities are broken.
always resets for some reason, its frustrating screws up my supply flow and losing money
removed automations and tried diffrent stuff but no dice.

Mine are staying where I set them now. In automation I unchecked "beginners and general economic protection"

I have mine unchecked as well.

Alrighty then!

I just checked a CEO and my trade strats are nothing like I would ever use.

Most are set to buying any quality supplies. I just Fixed it.

My Automation page reset to Any Quality. I just Fixed it.

But now is the double whammy. My automation offers for production is set to -20 and decrease by 10 each month. Follow Quality. No I can see why I am just bleeding cash from a good ceo. Fixed it Now.

My buying strategy on the automation is set to -8 and increase by 8. Wowsers. I fixed it now too.


So, in essence for whatever reason the settings reset I was buying over market price for supplies, then selling at a discount. Wow.

Conspiracy!!!!

I also noticed along with that reset went my contracts I set up for my strategic corps.

This getting a wee bit out of control. I thought it m,ay have been caused by the economic settings being triggered but this is not so. My LU main was reset and after I changed it I looked at the automation and none of them were triggered. Can we get some help here?

Does this look familiar:

Trade Strategies
Sale Strategy Start at 240% [Quality of the Product 250.0] of the market price and lower by 10% every month that the product remains unsold.
The offered price is updated when the produced quality changes.
Buying Strategy Start at 108% of the market price and increase by 8% every month that the product is not delivered.

You may also change the trade strategies.

...

That seems to be at least one of the 'default' trade strategies. That's sometimes written like:

Sell: -10/10
Buy: +8/10

Like was already said, that does "sell below and buy above market price", that's true.

Its also the default trade strategy for C3 corps.

Wonder if there's any connection there?

I wonder if any GM is going to acknowledge this thread :s

Yoohoooooo Andypoooo!

The lack of a response indicates to me that it is the players doing something wrong. I'll probably regret saying this :/ but I haven't experienced this problem in any of my 26 countries.

Maybe an email to GM, if you really cant find the problem, may help you.

What I have found is the game intervening without checking the tab, mostly in (my)countries that incur high loans periodically.

I have this problem on White Giant. No matter what I do (change settings in Automation or directly in corporate page). After a day or so it always resets to sell at 10% below market (adjusted for quality) and buy +8% of market price

Likewise. I've tried multiple things to rectify this, but have had no luck thus far. Any insight as to what could be the solution would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry bringing this thread to live again, but i'm having exactly the same problem. What can i do to stop the monthly resetting?

My corps are losing money because of this.
