Buy orders and spread are collected mainly for the most-listed items. True trade volume isn't available anonymously, so activity is estimated from buy-order and listing changes.

Prices are anonymously sourced from the Steam Community Market and exclude fees. Non-base-currency figures are FX-converted estimates and not guaranteed trade prices.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Market Analysis tool?
A free tool that tracks the TaskBarHero (TBH) Steam Community Market over time and ranks items that sell high, are rising, or are popular (actively traded). From each item's sell/buy price, listings, buy orders and price trend, it helps you decide what to buy, flip, or skip.
What's the difference between sell, buy, last-trade price, and net?
Sell = what you pay to buy now (the lowest listing). Buy = what you can sell for now (the highest buy order). Last-trade price = the actual transaction price, but Steam requires login so this tool can't fetch it. Net = the buy price minus Steam's ~15% fee (an estimate).
How do 'Rising' and 'Popular' differ?
Rising shows items whose price went up, ranked by % change, distinguishing a sell-only rise from a genuine one the buy price confirms. Popular ranks by an 'activity' score combining buy-order depth/growth and listing depletion. Since Steam doesn't expose real trade counts anonymously, Popular is an estimate.
What do Buy / Flip / Skip mean on the Verdict tab?
A buyer-side auto-verdict — "should I buy this now?" — regardless of whether you own it. Buy = the buy price dropped (undervalued) yet buyers remain, a good entry. Flip = a resale margin clears the ~15% fee, or the buy price is rising — worth flipping. Skip = no buyers, overpriced, trivial, or flat. Movement is judged on the buy price (real demand), not the asking price a single seller can inflate.
What do the '24h' and '7d' window toggles do?
On the Rising, Popular and Verdict tabs you can switch the period used to compute changes and activity between 24 hours and 7 days. The short window suits quick flips; the medium one shows the real trend. Until a full 7 days of data has accumulated, it computes over the available span and shows an 'accumulating' note.
Can I see the trade volume (number of sales)?
No. The real number of sales (trade volume) and the last-trade price are login-only on Steam and can't be obtained anonymously. So this tool's 'Popular' (activity) is a proxy estimated from buy-order depth/growth and listing depletion.
How accurate are the prices, and how often do they update?
Prices are sourced anonymously from the Steam Community Market and exclude fees. After the market reopens they refresh hourly via automatic collection. Figures outside the base currency are FX-converted estimates and not guaranteed trade prices.
