My thoughts...
IMO you should show each individual item results on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual basis. You will need a set end time on all of these calcs to get the indicator to have much of a meaning at all. Additionally, just because an item does not sell often or does not have a price change does not mean the results are not valuable. In analyzing any market one of the factors an investor takes into account is volume. How much of a stock is moving. This too would be a valuable number to display. If there is no change in the price the data should illustrate that.
This website is a valuable resource and may give you some ideas.

Slightly off topic, but one of my main interests whenever the subject of the
PE market comes up is the ability to have market indexes and stock like calculations.
I would love to see returns on a index type basis. Such as a return for the overall mineral trends, gun trends, armor trends ect. Another interesting thing that could lead to ingame stock trading would be to come up with a valuation of the companies represented in project entropia based upon their products sold. For intance, a value placed upon the Omegaton Stock. If one could demonstrate a reliable and accurate system,
MA may take notice and seek a partnership.
Anyways, just some food for thought.
