Greetings-
Im looking for third party software or maybe something is built into game? Something that need not be as complicated as volume/daily moving avg etc, just something that can view my profit from running trade routing. Obviously, it would need to incorporate brokers and tax rates which is exactly what I want it to do...currently Im using a calculator, but sometimes I smoke and get functionally slower at this aspect. :)
any recommendations? It can be a feature rich tool as im not daft but preferably have an option to what im looking for...quick profit output given broker and tax.
Thank you!

gDocs.

Import an item list with typeID's and m3 volume on one sheet. On another, have gDocs VLOOKUP the item name and associate it with it's type ID. Using the TypeID, make a bulk import of a bunch of items Jita-Buy figures from Eve-Central. In one of the columns, input your own buy price. Subtract it from the Jita-Buy. Apply taxes in another field. Apply shipping costs in another field.

Or some riff on that.

If this talk makes you fuzzy, then you should definitely try this. Because spreadsheeting = ISK. Until you use the firepower a spreadsheeter can bring to bare, you'll never be able to compete. Just start simple. I couldn't spreadsheet to save my life a few months ago. Now I'm a regular spreadsheet warrior, raking in bil's with virtually no effort.
