Trade value spreadsheet

Yeah, and I have run into that on occasion also. If I had known the price had changed, I would have gone with a different commodity.
I could have sworn though, that I read someplace that if you have good faction with whichever group, you could get a commodity readout from your Mobi-Glass. Though don't quote me on that.

maybe they will implement "info running" such as trade prices and such soon?

I tend to use a tool published over here: https://starcitizen.danielaburke.com/Trading

It's still under development (dahdohduh) but this helped me crawl back up to, and over, my 5k aUEC after losing ships stuffed with goodies over and over.

I hope the developer will allow sharing your own reports in this with my fellow testies.

Wait till you crash to desktop with 2M aUEC of cargo in your hold....

...Also, don't figure 'profit' by well, I can sell for X, it's all about margins and percents.

more than that, there's the time value of money to consider

fast in-system trades at lower margins can be more profitable than higher margin trades over longer distances

calculate the profits per hour, not profits per trade

Shhhh. Don't give away all the secrets.
