Hi there,

I'm just getting in to Station Trading, and I see a lot of resources out there for Mentat (which I gather is no longer really supported). There seems to be a lot less out there for Evernus, which I've been using. I've figured some things out, roughly. But I feel like there's a bunch that I'm still missing.

1. How exactly does Fast Price Copy work? I get that it gets an updated price into your clipboard so you can paste it into the modify order window, but I'm a bit confused as to how to actually use it in practice. So far using it doesn't really feel any faster than just comparing the price manually.
2. What's the purpose of the Scan buttons via the IGB? I really like that it pages through my orders (presumably to monitor them), but having to hit "Stop Scan" when I want to actually change something is annoying. Is there a way to use scan and FPC in tandem?
3. What's the best way to keep Evernus data updated? The API import isn't frequent enough for my needs. There are a number of different types of imports... File Import, Import prices (web), import prices (logs). So far web seems to be the most reliable, but it takes a while. I can't seem to get file/log to work.

If you guys can point me toward some specific Evernus guides/resources, that would be great.

Thanks in advance!
