Very nice....what programming tool did you use? VBA?

Does your computations take into account "Halt on Danger"?

The total earned per day is 20-(cost of rum/tob from that port) x (cargo per day trans).

It is possible but maybe another day. I wanna spend my weekend watching videos and playing PG :D

This would have saved me hours of pouring over possible trade routes when looking to earn best return on my trade fleets.

You can click on one of the rows in the table and the 2 ports will autofill for easier testing.

Python.

It's in always Halt on Danger mode :)). If travel time is less than an hour it rounds it to an hour.

Edit: Let me say that this is far from a reliable source to get exact data but It should give you nice pointers about the best trade routes. Let's say T-T with 5 LMMs with 33 crew and 5 in cotton sails gives you 21144 profit. But this is probably wrong and I can't test it reliably. The margin of error is probably at most 1 trip.
