Newcomer / Intro working trade tool?

Gyrehawk · Mar 9, 2015

Is there a working trade tool that does not require any additional software like excel etc? One t hat a somewhat newbie can understand and use?

I use http://elitetradingtool.co.uk/

But i don't think there is a 'complete' trade tool yet, but the one i mentioned never let me down so far.

hmm. I had just tried that one earlier and it would not give me a trade route from Kovaniti to Cuachini for the two items t hat I have been t rading. I kextended range to 30ly, assuming it would make more t han one jump, but nothing. maybe I am not doing something right. I started in kovaniti (not sure of spelling atm) and it would not come up withing at all.

That tool is populated by the community using it. If you are in a fairly quiet area it may not have information on the systems you want.

Kovantani? Kovantini? Something like that. I have yet to see our neck of the woods in one of the trade databases - someone would have to provide the data first. (And since I try not to use trading tools, it won't be me, sorry.)

I find Slopey's ED BCD much better

Just make sure you help support them by using EliteOCR.

And that it is the way I like it. Don't want riff raff hanging around making the place look untidy

like most 3rd party community tools.... you get out ........what you put in

if no trade data is provided for a route that you already use... perhaps you could update the "community database" for these stations/systems ? (neither of your stations/systems have any data at present in the elitetradingtool)

some stations update and move prices very quickly... others in the dark corners of inhabited space update very rarely

just a thought

UPDATE

These stations and systems are included in another community tool

Kovantani

Dias Installation, Meyrink Port & Nehsi Settlement

Cuachini

Eskridge Ring, Gibson Gateway & Shaikh Hub
