Overall Profit Tracking Tool

So I'm not sure if anything like this exists (havn't been able to find one so far), but was wondering if there is a profit tracking tool that keeps track of bounties, trade profit, and selling loot profit? More or less, I'm looking for a program that is able to take all of my profit and tell me which area I tend to get the most from.

I've been using evemogul for a couple months now, and it's nice, but has some limitations. For starters it doesn't do loot very well (since it has no idea were the stuff came from, it just kind of assumes it doesn't exist). I also tend to have random items that it wont show the profit for. For example I'll sell something at 8 mil, that I bought for 7 mil, and it'll have profit listed as 0%. It's uploading correctly as I can go into transactions and find it (within the tool), but just not being added correctly, which can screw with my numbers.

I don't know, just looking to see if there's anything better out there. If anyone maybe has any ideas on multiple tools I could use to get all the information I'd appreciate that input as well Smile

jeveassets to get a total value of all my items/wallet is what I've used in the past to get this. Just check it once a month (or any other time frame) and notate it, then just compare the difference between the two dates.

It won't give u a breakdown of where the increase of worth is coming from, but you'll know you're gaining (or losing!) wealth Blink

Yeah I didn't think about the spreadsheets guys, might be my only real option for something like this. Anyone happen to have experience with this sort of thing and know roughly how much it would cost?

I've tried jeveassets, but for some reason I can't get it to download correctly What? I'll monkey around with it some more and see what I can do

Bounties can be done easily. You can even do it yourself, importing wallet journal API into Excel and aggregating the data by the flags.

Trade profit tracking is quite easy too, but becomes a bit tricky if you are using the same wallet also for other purposes as well, for example buying ammos for missions and buying the same type of ammos for selling. If you are in a corp with a dedicated trade wallet account then those data won't mix, but the question then becomes whether you have the necessary roles.

Tracking Loot profit would be a nightmare coz you don't want to track each itemID (not typeID) buried deep within API among your other assets. Again, if you are in a corp you can set a dedicated loot hangar (or at least a container) + dedicated loot wallet account to take snapshots of net loot worth. In such a setup you just record over time the sum of

Total worth of the items in the dedicated hangar/container + balance of the dedicated wallet account + sum of sell order values of the dedicated wallet account

But setting up a corp wallet account and hangar just for loot is kinda meh.

Thanks for the info, I'll look into messing around with api's a bit. Something I've wanted to learn for a while now anyway
