Snuble, this problem has already been implemented in the .NET client. That point of the .NET was to get a working prototype, and that was successful. At this point, it's just a matter of porting the code while adding additional features such as login/logout, user preferences, etc.

Some help
Perhaps it is just me that is new to this. This sounds like a great little program til keep track of trade prices. I can see where one can download it I get a folder downloaded (rather a zip file that I unpacked to a folder). But I have seen no mention nor know how to use this program. Can start what looks like the program from the exe file in the debug but thinking that is not the way to use it. So a bit of help would be nice. How dose one come from downloading the folder to actually using it?

thank you for taking the time to create such a great application!
I've written a few small programs so I can appreciate the time and effort that must have gone into this.
To erchni just look in the releases folder of the zip, you'll find the latest release and there will be the main exe file there.
Cheers

The Releases folder have pre-compiled solutions for each released version. Open the latest one and run the executable. I just added this to the README.md file in the main directory for the git.

Read the post directly above yours. Or read the README.md file. The releases folder has all pre-compiled releases. Find the release version you want to run and just run the executable.
Like the Trading Assistant.
I like the application and I have spent a lot of time traveling from system to system and entering the commodity information. I am starting to have a problem though. The Star Systems name don't sort. They are displayed in the order that they were entered. It is becomming really confusing trying to select an existing star system when the list is longer than the window and not in alphabetical order!... Please sort the list of Star Systems.
Thank you.

You are welcome. There will be no development updates for the .NET client for the immediate future. Development is now focused on an online web application.

Ordering system names and station names will be something that is part of the user interface for the web application.
You most certainly want to check out the latest developlemt of andreas market dump tool.
It now provides a stream where you get real time update from anyone using the dump tool. You just need an ZMQ implementation for your server platform and then set up a listener/subscription for the stream and insert whatever you get to database (with the normal amount of sceptisism for the data provided of course!)
Other stuff I've learnt the last few weeks:
The range between refuels seems to be a function of mass and distance in LY.
The range of each jump is limited by the ships jumpdrive capacity and dependent on mass.

FD doesn't want programs to snoop in their internal data or traffic anymore so most trading assistants shut down and the threads where closed.
I'd still love a simple way to use a tool to enter trading data by hand instead of pen and paper.
Time to start looking deeper. If it flows to our PC's there should be an easy enough way to get at the data. Immersion is great but you can't have making any progress in this game too muck of a PIA. Tools that help identify the best things to haul based on the profit should help those of us who have real lives and unable to spend 15 hours a week playing to still make decent progress towards acquiring new ships and upgraded hardware.
Personally I'd be willing to pay a bit for a for sale app that doesn't leverage any of the ED IP but helps a trader make decent progress.
Well the most profit I made in Beta 2 with the trading tool was I think about 1mil credits back and forth with 400 tonne cargo space. So about 1200 credits per unit if I remember correctly. You can do that now too if you find the right route.
The problem now is that after the asp you still need to grind a godless amount of time to get to the type 9. There was a thread on reddit which called it the "asp glass ceiling". Maybe they will balance it differently on gamma.

Wrong topic, dude.
