[PSA] Farewell gift
I’ve been playing Counter strike for 12 years now, I started off as a kid and now I’m a grown adult and just landed my first job as a quant researcher.
I started a project during my Masters of building CS2 website scrapers and I implemented them into a trade up finder using mathematical models like NPV , IRR and listing depths to rank me the best trade ups. For the math nerds you would appreciate the amount of math I put into the project. I used a NPV Decaying equation skins get more expensive as you buy the cheapest listings, so the more you buy of the same skin, the more and more expensive it will get down the list, that’s just how price decaying works because if people trying to undercut each other when selling, so the decaying equation takes this into account.
What started off as a project to land me a job, made me a good amount of money to fund most of my Masters, which was pretty expensive as I am an international student in London ( my tuition fees alone were £51,000) , the trade up finder was able to make me a good 800-1200 a week. ( such a huge relief on uni fees burden, the London living is really not for the weak lol)
I won’t have time anymore to do these tradeups, I hope you guys can appreciate the maths behind this. Also the trade ups prices and floats are scraped from real live listings , so every trade up is possible the second you look at it, not like these other trade up finders that give you the most unrealistic floats and prices. I also built in a listing depth feature that scrapes all cs2 markets available and shows you how many tradeup contracts you can craft from the tradeups listed.
I hope you guys check it out and let me know your honest feedback and if you have any questions about the math behind the system , I would be very happy to answer any questions. I appreciate everyone I came across along the 12 years I played this game, but now it’s time for me to go. ❤️
