Start with your next sale
Stop looking up a mixed cargo hold one commodity at a time. Open Sell my cargo and compare the stops that make sense for what you carry.
See the best single stops for your sellable cargo, with the total they can pay and how much they will buy. Station demand limits the estimate. A separate view gives you the best buyer for each commodity.
The plan refreshes when your hold or system changes. Mission cargo, stolen goods and limpets stay out of the sale plan.
Search to buy or sell, then sort by best price, nearest station or freshest report. Filter by distance, landing pad, price age and minimum stock or demand; include fleet carriers and planetary ports when they suit the trip.
Your current ship supplies the default pad size. Search locally or across every market in your database.
Build the next run
The Trade routes page uses your ship's cargo capacity and available credits, so the opportunities reflect what you can carry and afford.
Search around your current position, with a radius up to 1,000 ly and buying-to-selling hops up to 500 ly.
Choose a landing pad requirement and whether to include fleet carriers. Compare the buying station, selling station, commodity and expected profit.
Use the listed quantities, distance and data age to judge the run. Community prices are reports of a market, so stock and demand may change before you arrive.
Find the outliers
Abnormal prices searches across commodities for stations and carriers paying far above the galactic average, or selling far below it.
Pick a comparison multiple from 1.5× to 10×, search the whole known galaxy or a nearby radius, and set how recent the prices must be. Results update as you change the filters.
The price sits beside its galactic average, quantity, location, distance and update age. Fleet carrier orders are compared against averages reported by stations, because carriers do not supply their own.
Let the market come to you
Watch for the deal you want without repeatedly running the same search.
Create a buy or sell alert for a commodity, price threshold and distance, with minimum stock or demand. For example: Tritium selling for at least 60,000 Cr within 50 ly.
Matching incoming market reports trigger an alert. Enable voice to hear it while you play.
Market data arrives directly from EDDN community reports and your own journal. Database & feed shows what is coming in; an optional Spansh import gives the database broader station and market coverage.
You can receive community market data without enabling uploads. Price age stays visible, because a live feed cannot make every station's last report current.
From the ring to the construction site
Search known mining hotspots by mineral, distance and hotspot count, with nearby selling opportunities alongside the results. Hotspots come from shared DSS ring scans and your own discoveries.
The Mining page tracks refined tonnes, tonnes per hour, prospect quality, motherlodes and previous sessions.
Dock at a construction site to see its remaining requirements, progress and what you already carry. Your delivered tonnage is tracked too.
Where to buy looks around the construction site for nearby suppliers with enough stock for your load, matched to your ship's pad requirement. Price, stock and report age stay together.
Finish the trip
Locate nearby raw, manufactured and encoded material traders, human and Guardian technology brokers, Interstellar Factors, Universal Cartographics and Vista Genomics. Search for shipyards, outfitting and black markets too. When you dock, This station shows the market's buy and sell prices, stock and demand.
The optional AI co-pilot can use your cargo and market tools to help you investigate a trade. The dedicated pages above are ready to use on their own.
