How prices work
- Market price = base price × √((demand + 60) ÷ (supply + 60)), limited to 0.25× – 4× the base price.
- Every 10 minutes supply and demand shrink by 7% (plus a little randomness), so prices drift back towards the base price.
- The quote averages the price before and after your order – big orders move the price.
- The trend arrow compares with one hour ago.
