Items with abnormal prices (likely a manipulated order book, >2.5× the 30-day average) are filtered out automatically — you won't see fake spreads that can't actually be traded.
| # | Item | BuyBest buy order on the station. You place buy at 0.01 ISK above — paying broker fee. | SellBest sell order on the station. You place sell at 0.01 ISK below — paying broker fee + tax. | VWAPVolume-Weighted Average Price over 30 days — fair-price reference. Anomalous orders (>2.5×) are filtered out. | Profit/unitNet profit per trade after broker fee and sales tax. | MarginProfit in % of invested capital. Green ≥20%, yellow ≥10%, blue <10%. | Volume/dAverage daily traded units over 30 days. Higher means faster capital turnover. | Trend▲ price rising, ▼ falling, → stable. Compares VWAP of last 7 days vs 30 days. On a falling market a sell order can stick. | Volat.Price volatility (coefficient of variation over 30d). Green <15% — stable, yellow 15-35% — moderate, red >35% — risky. | Profit/dEstimated daily income = profit/unit × volume/d × ~20% (you're rarely the only trader on a spread). The main metric for picking positions. |

What station trading is
Station trading means buying from buy orders and selling into sell orders at the same station — the goods never move. Your profit is the spread between those two prices, minus what the game takes: a broker fee when you place the order, and sales tax when it sells.
That subtraction is where a naive spread calculation goes wrong. This page uses your character's real rates — read from your Broker Relations and Accounting skills over ESI — so the margin in the table is the margin you actually keep. Without a linked character we fall back to default rates, which are pessimistic for a trained trader.
Why volume matters as much as margin
A wide spread on an item that trades twice a day will keep your ISK parked for weeks. Every row carries daily volume for exactly that reason — sort by it, or set a floor in the filters above, and what is left are positions that actually turn over.
Want the long version — which skills to train, how to find the break-even spread, and the mistakes that quietly eat the margin? Read the EVE Online station trading guide.
