In server 2, marketplace is a mess... Most of those who are selling lose a lot thanks to the ridiculous buy orders that other players place just to lower the prices to their advantage. Most only place 1 or 10 units for sale at a lower price, then more are accumulated on that order, leaving that alone to affect the price of a larger order. The same player continues to do this and can accumulate more than 10 orders with few units, when his company is not even engaged in wholesale but in his own retail stores.
So, my proposals are:
1. Limit the number of orders in the market: If the player has pending sell orders, he cannot place more than two until they are all sold.
2. Companies with capital greater than 500k cannot place orders of less than $5000, this is obviously market manipulation and therefore should be considered cheating.
3. Eliminate sell orders in the market older than 3 days automatically. There are offers that are weeks old and continue to affect the current price of goods.
If anyone else could make any changes to this topic that would be great.

This is just a matter of supply and demand.
If demand is high, then the small cheap orders will be snatched up quickly. You can also do this and relist at a higher price.
If you list 1 item at a price, then add more at the same price you go to the end of the line in the exchange. So if others have listings at the same price they will now be ahead of the person who added more.
Your #2 solution would have the opposite effect that you seem to want - large companies could dump huge amounts of resources at low prices, further lowering the prices on the exchange. It's also unfair - some only sell leftovers from contracts, and don't necessarily have $5k worth to sell.
#3 - that's kind of irrelevant. If they aren't selling, they aren't selling, people can either take off the exchange if they wish, or just wait until prices rise again. They have no effect on the current price if new items are being listed quicker than people are buying.

If the same person continues to place orders just to lower the price at his convenience it is not a simple matter of offer and demand... It's disgusting don't even try to stop the abuse of that.
