#if (@BestValue1<@vBananas) {BestValue5=@BestValue4 ;BestValue4=@BestValue3 ;BestValue3=@BestValue2
;BestValue2=@BestValue1 ;BestValue1=@Bananas ;BestLocation5=@BestLocation4 ;BestLocation4=@BestLocation3
;BestLocation3=@BestLocation2 ;BestLocation2=@BestLocation1 ;BestLocation1=Gdangus ;BestTRGood5=@BestTRGood4
;BestTRGood4=@BestTRGood3 ;BestTRGood3=@BestTRGood2 ;BestTRGood2=@BestTRGood1 ;BestTRGood1=Bananas}

I basicly want to keep the Top 5 Best trade options, but what a mess to have to repeat on every occation I value an item. Can someone help me with simplifying this?

Thanks...

Convert to stringlists
#VAR BestValues {@BestValue1|@BestValue2|@BestValue3|@BestValue4|@BestValue5}
#VAR BestLocations {@BestLocation1|@BestLocation2|@BestLocation3|@BestLocation4|@BestLocation5}
#VAR BestTRGoods {@BestTRGood1|@BestTRGood2|@BestTRGood3|@BestTRGood4|@BestTRGood5}
Then just insert the new values at the appropriate points in the lists, dropping the last item. Since you used specific values (Gdangus and Bananas) instead of variables for BestLocation1 and BestTRGood1, you'll have to change those to the appropriate variable yourself.
#IF (@vBananas > %item( @BestValues, 1}) {#VAR BestValues {@Bananas|%item( @BestValues, 1)|%item( @BestValues, 2)|%item( @BestValues, 3)|%item( @BestValues, 4)};#VAR BestLocations {Gdangus|%item( @BestLocations, 2)|%item( @BestLocations, 3)|%item( @BestLocations, 4)};#VAR BestTRGoods {Bananas|%item( @BestTRGoods, 2)|%item( @BestTRGoods, 3)|%item( @BestTRGoods, 4)}}
#IF ((@vBananas <= %item( @BestValues, 1)) AND (@vBananas > %item( @BestValues, 2))) {#VAR BestValues {%item( @BestValues, 1)|@Bananas|%item( @BestValues, 2)|%item( @BestValues, 3)|%item( @BestValues, 4)}
