So commodity trading wont work for Xbox fleet carriers right?

Let's be honest, everyone uses EDDB or INARA to commodity trade in elite.

However those apps rely on data from PC players only.

PC players who contribute data to EDDB can simply visit their own carrier to ensure their prices get listed. But on console we have to hope that some PC player will randomly land at our carrier, allowing our prices to be uploaded.

So...errrrrrr.....yeah.

In fact, console players can update their data to Inara, and also via the Console Updater on EDSM which I believe send the data to EDDB. So, no, should be ok. I am an Xbox user and am commodity trading just fine.

Ah ok, I'm glad to be wrong! I thought EDSM was just for logging your stars visited etc?

EDSM also updates your ships, missions, trade data, system and faction data etc etc.
Getting this on console has been a godsend for BGS work.
Incidentally if you link inara to your frontier account it details all your materials etc and then planning engineering is a doddle!
