+ +The "minimum trade value" specifies a minimum profit that you would +like to get from each (commodity, collect island, deliver island) +triplet. Trades which don't meet this minimum will start out unticked in +the "Relevant trades" table and will not be included in the voyage +trading plan. + +
+ +If you want to change your threshold, you have to select "Apply", +which will automatically tick and untick all of the tickboxes for in +"Relevant trades", as appropriate. This will undo any customisation +of the set of trades you have already done by manually ticking and +unticking individual trades. + +
+ +The value is an absolute poe amount, typically 5 or 10, representing +the minimum profit to make it worthwhile (from a time and effort point +of view) clicking in the YPP client to collect and deliver a +commodity. Setting a higher threshold will make each island visit +faster, by excluding trivial transactions, and so reduce the chance +that market conditions change adversely during your voyage. + +
