Hi,

my trading is mostly done with spreadsheets but over the time its more and more work to observate and adjust everything, so im looking for a trading program but not sure what to use.

I have different chars with more then 2000 orders and i feel a bit lost in the jungle of programs and would like to get a program which allows me to merge the different orders from my different toons to give me an overview which stock is about to run out to be able to refill them for example.

Maybe somebody can give me an advice what program could be good for me.

Thanks and regards

Spreadsheets Smile

Basically all the data that it available for trade programs is available for spreadsheets.
If some trade program is using it in a way that you like there is nothing preventing you doing the same stuff in a sheet.

A spreadsheet won't let you update orders in the rate of one per 2sP

I try to get into evernus right now but as far i can see i can not make a list from items from all character orders as one list or im just to bad to find this option ?

There's no option to combine all orders on one list, but you can use the combo box in the corner to switch characters quickly.

This is not helping with 10 chars with 2000 orders, also monitoring the order stacks is not possible this way.

That's an interesting use case. Combining orders shouldn't be difficult to implement. Although you won't benefit from Fast Price Copy then.

Think about a list from items you sell with different toons in one station as example, what is needed to see of course is the prices and when your prices are not the cheapest ones, this is cool that evernus shows me that but if you need to use different toons you can not locate orders which another toon already have.

Also you want to see which stack of items need to be refilled soon, would be cool to have a combined list from different toons who can show you all that.

As far i can see there is the option from completed orders but this is not a standard list of items then, you can add favourites in the marketviewer but when i am correct you need to add each item manual and this for different toons which is way to much work.

To repeat myself you can do these things in a spreadsheet.

To make things easy and fast to spot you can eg.

1) Use conditional styles
2) Use separate sheets which filter the information from other sheets and show only the info which is useful for you
3) etc...
