MercuryTrade VS MercuryTrade-Community-Fork

Trades Companion is very much like MercuryTrade in that they help automate aspects of trading. Mostly I like that I don't miss whispers if I'm AFK or zooming through maps. No need for these in a SSF league.

This already exists in Mercury Trade. It starts acting weird when you're trying to do anything with pixel perfect precision though. (https://github.com/Exslims/MercuryTrade)

Use the "Capture" feature of Mercury Trade (https://github.com/Exslims/MercuryTrade) to "copy a part of your screen into another part.

Awakened PoE Trade (for smoother trading) & MercuryTrade [for visualisation of buffs (kind of like a very limited version of WeakAuras in WoW, if you are familiar with that)]

That's why I use MecuryTrade. It's an overlay that keeps a pop-up on screen with the person who messaged you with buttons and such to quickly respond to people with replies you set up beforehand.

To make the chat trick faster my suggestion is to use MercuryTrade.

I just like the UI too much to switch to anything else https://github.com/Exslims/MercuryTrade

if you trade a LOT, then you might benefit from a dedicated trade manager macro/app like Mercury Trade Community Fork.

If you liked Slimtrade, you could test MercuryTrade Community Fork.

Next, thing: trade. Trade is a big part of the game, and to access you will want to be playing in a Trade league (not SSF - Solo Self Found). Here are the resources you will need to use the trade system: https://poe.ninja/challenge/currency is the "price-checking" tool for currency exchange rates and pricing unique items. (There is no way to reliably price rare items for a new player, unless you know all builds, all item affixes, all crafting mechanics and what is popular at the moment). Although there is almost 50 different currencies (you will want to memorize those), don't let that fool you - the basic "dollars" is the Chaos Orb. Everything you will trade to and from will have to be exchanged into Chaos Orbs. Hundred dollar bills are the "Exalted Orbs", and then "ten thousand dollar bill" is the Mirror of Kalandra. You will need Awakened PoE Trade (https://github.com/SnosMe/awakened-poe-trade), an overlay for the game that lets you quickly check prices of items in-game. Do not attempt to trade without a trade overlay, or you will get assblasted and have a terrible time. https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/ is the official search API, that lets you search for items based on a set of criteria. You will be using it constantly to set up alerts on items you are interested in to snipe, or to quickly search an over-priced piece of gear if you are in a rush. The only way to trade is to whisper another player with the information about the item you are interested in and wait for them to respond. It's all done through the in-game chat-window based on text messages. There is no other form of support for trading in this game. That is why we need Awakened PoE Trade, and this next piece of equipment: https://github.com/Morph21/MercuryTrade-Community-Fork will help you manage trades in-game.

MercuryTrade Community Fork may also work well for you.
