Traders - What's your highest profit per ton achieved so far?

Obviously, die hard traders are not going to be willing to share details, so all I'm asking is best profit per ton achieved, and in what kind of distance.

Personally, I've achieved 1853cr within a 25Ly range, making about 250,000cr in a round trip, Palladium one way, Mineral Extractors back again......obviously the Palladium is the earner, and the extractors cover fuel.

I was just wondering if anyone else has found a higher profit per ton route?

I'm generally happy with 1300 each way, so 2,600 round trip. Anything less than 1100 each way and I'm off. Is it the absolute most efficient Cr/h threshold? I don't know, but it gives me a good reason to keep moving on.

Rares are obviously a separate category, but with the best part of 300 tonnes space, the bulk makes up for the individual margin..

26 ly apart, 1600 profit (slaves on BM) one way and on the back leg, gold for 1500 profit. Made allies with the owner of the station where I sell the gold.
Making 4 rounds an hour, 348 k cr per round, so almost 1,4 mil an hour. Not bad.

currently making 2500CR per ton on a 18LY round trip 1,000CR there 1500CR back again, plus I keep an eye on the bulletin board for custom delivery of the type of commodity I am bringing back.

Right now I have pretty ok route between 2 systems of only 5.5LY (large pad stations, both are 40-70ls from the star) and
making 1311 + 887 for beryllium and slaves. The trip takes 9 minutes (from first purchase to last sold) and with 128 (ASP)
cargo capacity, that makes it roughly 1 688 064cr every hour, minus 221 fuel cost per route trip.

1650 one leg 1333 the other. Distance between systems is 16.8 in my type-9 I net 5.9 mil/hr (have to make 3 jumps total)

My current route makes me 1250 one way and 650 return. BUT....I am only jumping 5ly in my 500 tonne Lakon 9 so my fuel bill is only 5k each way. One round trip takes me about 12 minutes and nets over 900k. This makes me roughly 5 million per hour.

(If you fly a Lakon 9 you'll understand why the fuel bill is so significant) :D

My biggest single transaction so far is Cr 348k. For some rares. My largest overall was Cr 1.5M one way and 1.2M on way back. 2.7M Cr for an afternoons grind.

1700 one way 1300 on the way back. 15.6LY. unfortunately that one does not have the supply to be still worth it in an L9...

Highest per ton one way I ever got was 1824 for Palladium.

I don't recall exactly, but I think probably around 16000 Cr/ton dealing rare commodities.
Always at least ~8000 Cr/ton

1700 out (palladium) and ~650 back (progenitor cells) in my Lakon T6 with 104T cargo.

But only 9Ly jump and 12Ls / 330Ls to each station (outposts)

Takes about 12mins per loop, so I'm getting about 1.2Mil per hour.

I'm sure there's room for improvement as I have high tech, extraction, refinery and agriculture systems all within 10Ly

I do a four station, three system trek. Progenitor cells for 1137, tea in system for 492, palladium for 1792, and computer components for 273, which gets me back to point A. Takes a little longer than your typical two system, two station trek, but it works for me. Takes about 20-25 minutes if I'm not in a rush and stop to refuel at a star. Round trip is about 60LY with 100 tons. I could cut out the computer components, but I'd lose 30k on the palladium plus almost 30k on the computer components. Net loss would be roughly 60k, but the time savings would probably be at least 5 minutes, and maybe enough for almost one more trip per hour. Might be something to consider.

Wow some awesome prices out there.

At the moment i am trading Palladium and Performance Enhancers, making 1552 and 1350 respectively.

Its 40LY between the stations but the Anaconda has an impressive 17.86LY laden jump range so its no big deal.

Im making about 1.25 million per round trip on a 420 ton hold so its roughly 5 million in just over an hour


I feel inspired to seek out the route of the gods hearing some of these 1700 a ton margins though.....

I have a run where the system is only 15ly away and each station is less than 40ls from the sun. In my type 7 i have a cargo hold of 212 tonnes and im making 1697 per tonne in one direction and unfortunatly nothing on the 1 jump back but that makes me 359,340 per trip and is adding up nicely.
The demand and supply is remaining high and prices not fluctuated as of yet. Trading palladium and or gold as the profit margin is nearly the same for each item.
I do wish i had a return amount as well, then i really would be milking the system :)
