3rd-party Discord bot/tool to find stations with large stocks of 90% discounted gold.

Trading is one of the best ways to make money in Elite: Dangerous, and the best way to trade is to buy low and sell high. Easy, right? Many factors affect market prices, but the Background Simulation (BGS) is among the most important.

The infrastructure failure BGS state causes the market price of gold to plunge by 90%, letting you trade gold for a profit of around 63k/ton. But if you go to Inara and look for these stations under 'Infrastructure Failure,' you will see that all of them are out of stock. Because Inara will list them as the top trade route by profit, they will get swarmed like locusts to a crop and suck up all the stock.

But some stations are hidden from Inara. The bubble is so large that not all stations are updated in real time. This bot will detect the stations that are in infrastructure failure, but without an updated market. So they will have ample gold in stock for you to profit.
