Insights: See What Moved, What Bottomed, and What You Still Need
PokeTrack has a new Insights tab. It answers the question you actually open a price tracker for — *what changed, and what should I chase next?* — across all 181 sets we price, and it is free for every account while it is in beta.
What moved, and by how much
Moving Up and Moving Down show the five cards with the largest dollar swings against their own recent baseline, with card art, current price, and the size of the move. Ranked by dollars rather than percent, because a 300% move on a 40-cent card is not news.
Cards at the edges of their 30-day range
Two sections track cards sitting at the top and bottom of their 30-day band, with how far each one is from the opposite end. A card at its 30-day low with meaningful headroom back to its high is a different proposition than one that has already run — and the number tells you which is which.
Buy Signals, surfaced
Buy and Bottom signals used to live inside individual card pages, which meant you only saw them if you already knew where to look. The current highest-value flagged cards now sit on one page, drawn from the same nightly trend model that runs across a year of real price history — not estimates.
Still missing from your sets
The section at the top is different for every collector. It looks at the sets you are genuinely working on, then shows the most valuable card you do not own from each — ordered by how close you are to finishing, so the set you are 85% through comes before the one you just opened. Each card shows your progress and flags when it is sitting at its 30-day low.
Why the numbers are smaller than you might expect
This is the part worth understanding. A card’s listed market price is often just the cheapest copy for sale, so on thin-supply cards one listing selling can look like a huge swing when nothing actually traded. We found a card that sat at $4,000 for twelve days, showed $980 for a single day, then returned — which a naive tracker would report as a 75% crash followed by a 308% rally. Insights filters those out: moves are measured against a 7-day median, must hold for two days, and cards under $10 or with unstable recent pricing are excluded. A quiet list is the honest one. Across a typical day, the average card moves under 2%.
Updated once a night
Market prices refresh on a nightly cycle, so Insights rebuilds once a day rather than ticking continuously. The page carries a timestamp so you always know how fresh it is. Clicking any card opens it in its set, with the full price history and Buy Signal detail.
The Insights tab in PokeTrack shows the five largest daily gainers and five largest losers by dollar change, measured against each card’s own 7-day baseline. It updates once a night and is free for every account.
Insights has a dedicated section for cards sitting at the bottom of their 30-day range, showing how much headroom each has back to its 30-day high. Cards must have at least two weeks of price history and a stable recent range to appear.
Because most large single-day moves are not real. On low-supply cards the market price reflects the cheapest listing, so one copy selling can look like a huge swing with no trade behind it. Insights measures against a 7-day median, requires a move to hold for two days, and skips cards under $10 — so the list is shorter and the moves on it are real.
Yes. The top section of Insights shows the most valuable card you do not own from each set you are actively collecting, ordered by how close you are to completing each one, with your progress and a flag when the card is at its 30-day low.
Yes. Insights is free for every PokeTrack account during beta, including the market sections and the personalised missing-cards section.
Once a night, after the daily market price refresh. The page shows a timestamp so you can see exactly how current the data is.
