Happy holidays fellow TW junkies.

The beta release of my haggle routine approaches. I'm shooting for New Year's day for a first release. The feature set for this first release will be limited to the following:
1. Determines MCIC value or range for any product, at any Exp, buying or selling, Planet or Ship trades, at any %. *See note below.
2. Haggles to the exact maximum profit when selling product, or to the exact lowest price when purchasing product.
3. Toggle to enable haggle and hold, to determine MCIC without completing the sell or purchase.
4. Toggle to enable worst price bid when buying. This is the exact worst price.

*Note: When purchasing Fuel or Organics, if the port's % is very low it may just send enter instead of haggling, as a temporary work-around for a very time-consuming calculation.

I have maintained a weblog documenting progress and various features for several months now. Feel free to catch up and post questions or comments here preferably. The URL is in my signature below.

Beta 2 was released several days ago, and feedback has been positive. I've already added a few features for the next Beta, including Blue Haggle and a trap for SWATH's haggles, making it compatible with SWATH's built in scripts.

To catch up on the features, visit the link in my signature below.

I expect to beta test through March, so reply or Private Message me if interested.

Also, any beta testers with results to share, feel free to post the positive ones. [;)]
