That rate is a ceiling for the whole order book, not an income — the trade may only be profitable into the top of it.

Measured across 3 markets — the output and each ingredient. The worst of them decides, because that is the one that stops you. Whether a market was there is counted across up to seven days; whether the price worked, across the latest readings — a few days for a busy item.

0/100 -- do not act on this; biggest doubt: only the first 4,820 units of the output sell at the headline price; the 1,390,843 units of demand behind it are priced lower -- the market is there, the price is not, so this is a small run rather than a thin market

• !Concern:only the first 4,820 units of the output sell at the headline price; the 1,390,843 units of demand behind it are priced lower -- the market is there, the price is not, so this is a small run rather than a thin market
• !Concern:an ingredient's best order sits 34% above the price with real volume behind it -- the top of that book is an outlier
• !Concern:the output price is 41% above its own median across 115 observations -- right now is unusually good, which is exactly when a one-off looks like an opportunity
• !Concern:the output price has swung 357% of its median while being watched
• !Concern:an ingredient is 60% cheaper than its own median -- if that dip closes before your order fills, the trade is gone
• !Concern:only two orders would take the output
