Newcomer / Intro The line to kick me starts here. Please take a number to assure your turn.

I have been scratching my head for days trying to figure out how people made "10's of millions" per hour trading.

I just figured out how to use the INARA trade route page.

I am an idiot.

Now serving number 1,344.
INARA and the other sites gets price and availability/demand data from us commanders who run data reporting software, not everyone does this so things can change without getting reported.
So pay close attention to the age of the information, extremely profitable can get over worked quite quickly.
 
Step 1: use a Cutter. In a pinch, use a Corvette. Set up for lots of cargo and maximum jump range.
Step 2: have enough seed capital
Step 3: find a loop that yields 20k/t profit. 20k/t * 640 tons = 12.8 MCr. per loop run
Step 4: 💰💰💰💰💰💰
 
The problem is knowing what from where to where and to a certain extent when can cause issues as well.
That's what I didn't like about the EDDB trader app. You have to know which base you're buying from and which one you're selling to, etc, etc, etc. It's like you have to tell it everything for it to tell you anything.

With the INARA app, all you do is type in where you are, how far you're willing to travel and if you want a round trip trade and it does it all for you instantly. I absolutely LOVE that app.

I can't wait to get my grinding done so I can use it more. I'm working on Federation ranks now to get the Corvette, but once I'm done with that and get it set up I'll probably do some trading to build my wallet back up (because I'll be near broke after buying the Corvette and outfitting it) and then I'll go back to trying to get the Vette into action and kill a lot of NPC's for materials and start getting all my ships fully engineered.
 
I like the trade computer extension in preference to eddb or inara as it only uses data from stations you have been to - or within a 50 ly radius meaning you can really get to know your own area.

It's also an overlay so you don't have to alt tab out the game
 
Yes. It asks for 18 inputs. It also assumes I know what I want to trade because I have to input that.

INARA asks for 10 inputs and will find the most profitable commodity to trade automatically based on my location.

I don't get what you are saying. You CAN set commodities to include or exclude but you don't need to. It isn't as restrictive as you seem to think and in fact INARA trade route page is more restrictive in that you can only select from drop-down lists for many things plus (and quite important) you can't exclude trades such as imps or ins memb for example.
