Greetings all Capsuleers,

I`ve read quite a lot on the topic Trading.
Where some guys Control a part of the market in their Constellation.
I am already a good Ship Manufacteur and now i want to ask you guys how you traders actually do your stuff.
5 billions in a day? i find that quite insane.
come on it looks easy but really i am lost on that topic so some tips or advice i would be thankful for.

step 1 don't do this.... https://zkillboard.com/detail/35112414/

Step 2 learn the market interface and make some research:
https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Trading_(Profession)
http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Trading
http://www.eve-wiki.net/index.php?title=Trade_skills_overview

Step 3 decide what type of trader are you?
At the foundation of Eve trading there are number of types....
* Station trading - u stay on one station doing your stuff
* inter-station trade - you buy low on one station and haul it to sell high on another one.

Step 4 - Google 'Eve online Market Scams'

Learn from the fails of others....

Try Market Discussions.

I've not posted much on trade alone, but rather mostly in a manufacturing context:
Slow buy orders trading
Wrong Start in S&I?
Reading the market charts to find industry products

... and the catch-all:
New to manufacturing

I've never made 5 billion ISK in a day... maybe 3 days of sales not including manufacturing time, but I don't station trade.

How much isk do you have right now? You could buy with region orders and haul the stuff to Jita.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

I'll highly recommend against it.
Jita and it's surroundings areas are filled with suicide gankers.

A workaround people can use to avoid it is to hoard large large shipment in some station on The Forge region then use Red Frog service to haul it into Jita.
