to add from todays practice.
1. use loop finder in eddb.io
2. set max price age to 1, so it calculates with states
3. set minimum profit to 4100
4. set minimum supply to 1440 --- you want to run that loop with your cutter
press find loop. uh. no loops can be found. this is where most "traders" end.
but we know we can beat eddb.io by using it.
1. - we want a military extraction economy in aisling duval space in boom. boom for high sell prices, low purchase prices. aisling duval cause additional profit via powerplay control bonus. extraction, because it will allow us to export to a hightech or industrial system.
- use eddb.io to find such an economy, look out for a station that has its last price updates longer than 1 day ago. use the galaxy map and the system map to check state, till you find a station which is in boom, what eddb.io doesn't know yet.
2. - we want something that generates massive profit. medical diagnostic equipment has high sell prices in service and military economy.
- use the commodity finder of eddb.io to look for sources of medical diagnostic equipment.
- only use those sources which had their price updates days ago and have a good supply.
- use galaxy map and system map to check for states. you don't want an outbreak with any faction present in that system, or any war, because those ruin the prices for medical diagnostic equipment.
3. take your DBE (or conda or AspE, if you fail to see the genius of a DBE), fly to source system, buy sample of medical diagnostic equipment, note prices of metals and minerals produced by extraction, fly to target system, check profits. transfer cutter.
gratulations, you have found a 4900 cr/t a-b-a route which isn't on eddb.io
