Trade Routes
Profitable trade routes between EVE Online trade hubs. Order book depth analysis with reliability grades.
Route Overview
Updated 2m agoISK Scout is currently tracking 408 trade routes: 5 low-risk, 43 moderate-risk, and 360 high-risk. Across all routes the engine has computed 4,362 distinct profit opportunities with a combined potential of 28.12B. The top-earning route is Odebeinn V - Moon 5 - Kaalakiota Corporation Factory → Jita 4-4 at 4.49B. All figures are precomputed from real-time ESI market data with outlier filtering and order-matching simulation, refreshed every 5 minutes.
About this tool
EVE Online arbitrage is the practice of buying items at one trade hub and selling them at another for profit. ISK Scout's trade route scanner pulls live market data from CCP's official ESI API every 5 minutes, covering Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens, and Hek, plus selected remote stations. Unlike tools that compare median prices, ISK Scout simulates the actual order matching that happens when you fill orders at the destination — so loss-making trades are excluded automatically and the displayed profit is what you can realistically execute. Each route shows reliability grades (A–F) based on order book depth, top-order concentration, and historical price ranges, plus durability scores that estimate how long a margin will survive market drift. Gatecamp detection uses recent ship/pod kill ratios to warn about high-risk systems on the path. Use the cargo optimizer to load the most profitable mix that fits your ship's hold and ISK budget.
View full FAQHow profits are calculated
Each route is analyzed by pulling every market order in the source and destination regions from the EVE Swagger Interface (ESI). Orders are sanitized using interquartile-range outlier removal and minimum-volume filtering before being paired in a loss-zone-aware matching simulation: sell orders (ascending price) are consumed against buy orders (descending price) until the price curves cross, ensuring only realizable profits are reported. Reliability grades (A through F) deduct points for over-concentration on a single order, weighted-average deviation from lowest price, thin destination demand, and historical price anomalies. Durability grades (rigid / normal / fragile) measure how well the margin survives transport delays given order-book depth, market share, and refresh frequency.
