utkuborghi there, want to ask an info about trade.

today i really tried hard, maybe 20-30 times...

• Don't waste time looking at supply/demand and prices. You will never really generate enough income to make the time spent worth it.
• In INARA, Use DATA>Trade Routes>BestTradeRoutes. Put in a reference system, the max distance and cargo capacity. This will generate a list of routes and how much money you could potentially make per hour.  However, be sure the stations listed have enough resources on hand. There is no use running a 100mil/hr trade route if there are only enough resources available to make 2 mil in profit.
• In addition to the above, you might want to consider taking missions such as transporting or retrieving materials for a station. This is slow credits and will not make you rich. However, like other missions, it can be a decent reputation generator and serve to fill out unused cargo space.
• Mining. There are two ways to mine, I'll call them "traditional mining" and "trade mining."
  
  •  Traditional mining can be lucrative in a solo or group instance if you can stand the monotony and the PvE pirate attacks. It is a matter of finding stations paying premium prices for material and a place nearby to mine that material. 100tons of cargo at 700K/ton is 70mil credits.
  •  Trade Mining is what I prefer and how I made the majority of my credits There are mining missions where you can buy the commodity at another station rather than mine it. If a mission to mine 200 gold pays 50 million, so what if I have to pay 15mil to buy that gold. I just made 35mil profit for very little time and effort.

utkuborghi there, want to ask an info about trade.

today i really tried hard, maybe 20-30 times different trades but every time failed.
last example: want to sell bauxite. it shows that

Rukavishnikov Hub | Trepin wants to buy. Demand is 563,077 and prices is 12,555 Cr, update: now!!!

well after a few minutes i saw that demand is 167,052 and the price is 1,395 Cr!

what is my mistake(s)? any help?

thnx in advance.

Try to trade within a small area. The fewer jumps you have to make, the better. I went from Trade Elite to Trade EliteV in Colonia using the above three suggestions and never had to go more than 30LY from Colonia to do it. So, no more than two jumps in a Type9 with 640 tons of cargo.

ArtieAlso an important thing - please ensure you are playing Live game version (so Horizons 4.0 or Odyssey on PC). Since the game update 14, Inara and all major tools are working only with the Live game.

utkuborghi again,

why does in inara we can't see most of stars? for example, all "synuefai rg-g" started star systems or "synuefai tv-p"? in the game there are lots of variation stars but i can't see most of them. is there a way to add or its an automated system?

The data in Inara is crowdsourced. There are tools you can run in the background while playing the game (e.g. Elite Dangerous Market Connector). These scan the game's log files and send data to the EDDN, which in turn Inara gets its data from. As long as no data about a particular star system has been uploaded this way, Inara doesn't know that it exists and what's in it.
