I had alot of success at the start of my career using eve central (many thanks!). However, I was recently told that the data dumps could be manually edited to, for example, remove a nice trade by changing the figures, thus avoiding competition for the first person to find that route. Is this the case? If so, doesn't that make the whole site potentially useless? I say potentially because there are obviously not enough people currently doing this to completely break it (otherwise I wouldn't have had any success) but I would really like to know if this is genuinely possible before relying on the site again.

I've done this many times. Why don't you test it out for yourself. In fact, export something like Trit in The Forge, find the export file, delete everything and upload it. See if there's any orders in The Forge when you look up Trit.

Sure is. The only defence against it would be the client signing each export, but that's basically not going to happen. Even the cache reading method is vulnerable to this "problem".
The best solution we have is volume. The more people that use it, the better the overall reliability is.

Do you think you could make a filter on the site for systems? For example, choose 3 systems in 3 different regions to display prices for?
I like the tool btw.
