i have done some searches for trade tools on EVE, from eve-central, to evenexus and a few others, they either have no instructions, or the instruction are vague and i just simply cannot get them to work, I have tried loads of options in eve-central and none of which have resulted in a profitable trade (luckilly o was just "paper trading" it first.
All I want is a tool to help me trade, that works and has some easy to follow instruction on how to use, can anyone advise please?

What sort of trader are you, items in station trading strader, production trader, trade route trader, real money trader?
I can suggest some tools that are good, but I need to know what you are focused in?

Best option is to write an app which will do exactly what you need ;)

Tried EMMA ?
It has a tutorial on how to use it
It wont show you what items to trade, but can show you which items you trade that are profitable and by how much.
Hope it helps

Hi
I've tried 2 types of trading so far, sitting in the station type trading where you but in buy orders and try and sell them when fullfilled.
or making ammo from blueprints and selling then in station.
I am new to this game, so just trying to get some ISK to get better things, I was trying to use eve-central to purchase items and move them but I dont have the cargo hold for that so it looks like station trading is my thing.

See at them moment with my low funds, i really need something that will show me what to trade rather than how profitable the stuff i already trade is, although that information would certainly be handy... but no not tried EMMA, I cannot find a link to it.

Welcome to EVE Vartan,
A few comments - the tool which you describe simply does not exist. If it did, it would be of limited value as by definition its extensive use would in itself influence the market.
One of the hardest facts about EVE - anyone who would step out to help you would be doing so by dropping their own profits. Thus it is very unlikely that anyone will come out and tell you what to trade, you are going to have to find that out yourself. When you do you'll probably realise the information is truly precious and valuable and will not share it with others either. If you feel altruistic and decide to share it, the information will probably become worthless.
Like I said welcome to EVE - a place unlike any other you've seen before. And good luck.

Trade tech II modules from Jita to one of the highsec minor trade hubs bordering low/null sec: Hek, Ourslaeert, Yuzier, Torrinos, Orvolle... just a few I used to stick around. I'm sure you can find one in every border region. While you are low on ISK (sub-bilion), stick to stuff that sells fast - it's better to get a bit less ISK fast andd reinvest it than to wait for a week for that one big sale. Check the history graphs to see what is selling. The obvious candidates are the popular mods: invulnerability fields, shield extenders, EANMs, Drake missiles, projectile guns, all flavors of propulsion mods, shield and armor rigs, etc. Find stuff that you make a decent profit buying from sell orders in Jita and placing on sell orders again in your target system. Placing buy orders in Jita is a major pain and it won't boost your profit by that much.
You're welcome, feel free to send ISK if you like the advice.

There you go Abdiel breaking our nice dark lurid universe!
Though the advice is definitely sound. I'm actually surprised you got such a good response Vartan, you should act on it.

I've used Navbot successfully in my earlier trading. It is especially helpful in cross region trading. You would need to export data from the different regions and the program shows you the best deals for your cargo space, accounting skills, and number of jumps involved. I had an alt in Rens and one in Jita. It worked out pretty well. I've also got a sweet spot where three regions are in three jumps, so the exporting of data went quickly.
The salvage items are pretty light-weight and can turn a quick profit. You just have to be careful hauling items which cost significantly more than your ship. Suicide gankers will pop you for your cargo.
