is this still working or obsolete

I only ask because my first "run" started with selling at a 4k loss with the return trip purchasing a commodity not sold at that station I tried updating the station info but the route was unchanged

input: trade run --cap 96 --cr 13m --from "diaguandri/ray gateway" --loop --ly-per 20 -v

Accuracy of station information is not guaranteed, as it is constantly changing, for every station.

This is why TD includes an "age" field, so that you know how old, and therefore how inaccurate, the data for that station is, and an --age option, so you can ignore data that is older and therefore more inaccurate.

>trade run --help

 --age DAYS, --max-days-old DAYS, -MD DAYS
                        Maximum age (in days) of trade data to use.

But when the age is 0.02days you would think it was accurate EDDB sees it correctly why is trade dangerous having trouble 

[eyeonus]

It's not. Your problems are most likely due to user error.

As I already showed you, running the exact same command on my TD copy results in a DIFFERENT route than yours.

Having a different route with the same input criteria means operating on different data.

Since I did a full update of my copy of TD's database before performing the same run you did, and got a different route, that means your database is using older information.

The only difference between my run and yours is that I did -vvv instead of -v so you can see the age data. (Ex.: "88 x Chemicals/Agronomic Treatment 4,669cr vs 13,021cr, <1 hr vs <1 hr, total: 410,872cr")

If your copy of TD is having issues, update TD using pip install --upgrade tradedangerous. Update the database using trade import -P eddblink -O listings

Then try again.

That is strange seeing as I installed it for the first time yesterday and it gave me the same result after udateing the station with market connecter you can’t get any more recent than that dose it just cling to old data that strongly?

[eyeonus]

TD's data is updated by using the import command. Clicking the update button on EDMC, which is a completely different program that has nothing to do with TD, has no effect.

It is recommended to use the EDDBlink import plugin to update TD's database, as it pulls the latest daily data dump from EDDB as well as more recent data gathered from the EDDN network using a program running on Tromador's server I built specifically for that purpose.

Please read the manual before blaming the program for problems caused by your lack of knowledge.

Also, stop replying to the email, it's spamming your posts with a metric ton of css formatting.
