Elite Traders Calc

I created this timer app to evaluate and compare the profit potential of my trading routes in the game Elite Dangerous.It was build primarily to fit my own needs but in the end i thought it may be beneficial for others too..The idea is to time one trade run from one station to the other and back. With the credit difference and the cargo space the app can tell you in the end how much money you make in one hour or in one hour per cargo.So you can now time all your trade routes this way and in the end you can see which one yields more credits.The app has a log file to record your routes. You can edit this log and add notes i.e. the commodity's or stations.(Save via options menue)You can share this file to i.e. Dropbox or Evernote or the contents of it to i.e. WhatsApp..Why not only fly the routes with the most profit per cargo?It's not so obvious which route yields more in the end. You need to time each one to compare.Once i found a route with Palladium one way (1650cr) and Progenitor Cells (1361cr) away the way back which is 3011cr per cargo profit. This route 2 jumps and had one terminal. Distances were 1000Ls and 60Ls.My "home" route was Superconductors (1281cr) and Resonating Seperators (1213cr) on the way back. It was only one jump. Distances were 200Ls and 80Ls.I always thought this one jump would not count so much and the distances difference is not so big and the first route would be by far the better choice, in the end it was NOT.15min for route one and 10min for my home route.1.445,280cr per hour for route one and 1.795,680cr per hour for the second!12,044cr per hour per cargo for route one and 14,964cr for the second!

One of several possible tools to help budding ED traders. Hoping to see some improvements to the ui in the future perhaps.

Love this app! Sometimes you have to try those trade routes rather than number crunch. This app is great for working out whether a 2, 3 or 4 leg trade route is more efficient per hour. Thanks for sharing this :-)) PS. A notes field would be very handy so the log can store route/commodity details

Fits nicely into my cockpit on my Nexus 7 :)

App helps judge the profitability and , as a result, the overall efficiency of a given trade route by providing the profit per ton hour amount.

Dont understand poor reviews. So far 5 stars. Will update as I dig deeper into ED using app.

This is perfect. For trading, what's most important is profits per ton per hour. With this application I was able to prove my optimized clipper with the route I had could out - trade a T9 doing another route with over 3,500cr/t profit per lap. I wasn't even trading imperial slaves - just Resonating Separators and Gold. Can't explain how much I enjoy this app. I always knew, I understand the math. But for others, this is a simple way to easily test trade routes for viability

Pointless if you know how to actually play. Also I don't know why they need access to my photos or media files !! Strange
