TaterTrader (Trading Merchant)

As an alternative to automated traders, TaterTraders attempts to find the best trades to generate profits. Also tries to be fairly configurable and balanced.

TaterTrader is a WIP automated trading script whose sole purpose is to make profits while avoiding cheating.

The script is currently in a very experimental and prototyping stage.

Over time I hope to be able to add more features and optimizations.

Function:

Try to find the best profit based on the configuration of a given order.

A series of settings that you change to adjust how and where you trade.

Only the player knows the trade price of the trade.

Trade using the game's own built-in trading orders.

When the trader home is set to the station, the station becomes the trader commander.

Traders will use their commander if they have one.

Unless otherwise noted, traders adhere to faction trade restrictions.

You can copy product list presets in configuration options.

Configuration options:

You can define home departments or workstations.

Traders can be set up to always return to "Home" before trying to find another trade.

You can configure the instruments on which the trader attempts to find trades.

The maximum distance a trader can buy or sell.

Change the price traders consider an item to be set at your own workstation. (actually does not affect the cost)

You can set up traders to bypass faction trading restrictions.

You can exclude searching for trade deals in selected industries.
