Using the Material Trader Panel

The material trader panel allows you to plan your material trades before you get to the station.

The panel works exactly the same as the Elite in-game panel.

First select the trade type (Manufactured, Encoded, Raw) from the drop down box at the top.

Then select the material you want. It will go dark green and the text will change to cancel. Press it again to cancel.

Materials which you have enough to swap with will be shown, the ones which you can't select will be coloured red.

Then select the material you want to offer. The dialog box allows you to select the amount you want to donate and shows you what you will receive. You can either accept or cancel the swap.

Once a swap has been made, the trade list at the bottom shows you the transactions set up. You can set up as many transactions are you care.

The current totals for materials are either taken from your last history entry, or from the cursor position the history is pointing to. Use the green up arrow/red slash button to select which next to the trade type selector.

The totals in the boxes show the total of materials for each items after transactions have been applied from the trade list. If the trade list is clear, then the totals are the amount you have. If trades are listed, the totals are modified to suit.

You may get a - !!! warning in the Left box if you've set up trades and then you abandon materials. this indicates the trade will take you into negative totals. Just clear the trade to correct.

Trades may all be deleted using the clear button, or an individual trade can be removed by right clicking on it and select clear trade.
