About TCGIndex — Trading Card Game Market Analytics Platform
TCGIndex is a market analytics platform for Trading Card Games, designed to bring professional-grade market intelligence to collectors, competitive players, and trading communities worldwide.
The platform focuses on the Trading Card Game secondary market, providing structured indicators on card prices, market value, momentum, volatility, and pricing anomalies — helping users understand market behavior before making decisions.
What TCGIndex tracks
TCGIndex aggregates and processes millions of pricing data points across multiple marketplaces to build live indicators covering:
- Market Value Indexes at game, set, and card levels
- Short- and medium-term price trends (24h / 7d / 30d / 90d)
- Momentum regimes and volatility signals
- Advancers, decliners, and freshness metrics
- Relative pricing opportunities and anomaly detection
Design philosophy
TCGIndex is built with a clear principle: context over prediction. The platform does not provide financial advice or price forecasts. Instead, it offers transparent, interpretable indicators that help users understand market structure, trends, and relative positioning.
Indicators are designed to resemble financial market dashboards, inspired by tools like Bloomberg or CoinMarketCap, while remaining accessible to the Trading Card Game ecosystem.
Origin of the project
TCGIndex was founded by a data engineer focused on applying large-scale data processing, analytics, and machine learning techniques to collectible markets — an industry historically driven by intuition rather than structured data insight.
The goal is to bridge the gap between traditional financial analytics and modern Trading Card Game economies.
Supported games
Altered is the first live supported game, serving as a proof of concept for the platform’s market indicators and analytics pipeline.
Additional Trading Card Games — including Star Wars Unlimited and other major TCG ecosystems — are progressively being integrated as the platform expands.
