Maybe I am too grumpy and shouldn't post pre-coffee, but, 5 days trading does not a "competency in trading" show, any more than 5 days successful mission running shows that you know how to run missions, or 5 days pvp makes you a competent pvper.

Maybe, but what happens when someone comes in and dumps your 100% down to 5%? Although, I am renowned as a bear of very little brain.

You have shown that you can move items in the 100's of k, with big margins, thats trading 101. Does it scale up past 1bn? Your hulk business relies on you taking X of the pool and reinvesting it, this is in effect, a bond, albeit a small scale one.

You are basically looking for investors,

As you yourself said, this was an idea you thought up the night before you posted the hulk plan. If it is a good idea now, it will be a good idea in a month. Why the hurry and rushing through things?

The sole reason you may possibly (only by someone as confused as me of course), be perceived as in a rush is, because thus far, your schedule is:

22nd April: Start eve
27th May, start station trading
30th May, have awesome eureka moment late at night
31st May, post Hulk insurance scheme
1st June, request audit to verify that you flipped some items on a station.

You see how to the woolly minded like myself, this might be viewed as somewhat rushed, and not really planned out, or, to the more cynical bears of little brain, as a scam?

This probably ends up with "you're an alt", "you're a goon", and so on.

All I asked for was an audit.

So I'll just leave it at that - I don't feel any need to further reply. I already got the answer I was looking for (from VV). I'll get one a week or two down the road as I had planned.

I'll push Rhivre's point further.

People here trade, even the smallest of the traders here have billions in assets.
No one is impressed with a sub-billion return rate and your enourmes penis.

your posts break down to
1)isk making is easy.
2)the fact you doubt makes me smarter.
3)i'm generally better than you in every single way.

Please forgive my ill-fated sarcasm, and read on.

While you may be the next person to break 500 billion in the next month or so, I highly doubt it.
your responses show a fresh trader with very little experience in handling high-volumes of ISK.

A new trader always *always* brags about sub-billion profit margins, Thinking that it scales up beyond the first 3-4 billion easily.
It stops scaling at around the 2nd billion, which then becomes an *effort* to keep pushing in high margins.
After the 5th billion it becomes actual work unless you're changing your business plan.
Because station trading doesn't work for most people with so much ISK.

I'm just trying to be insightful and letting you see that while we may be sarcastic in MD, it's for relatively good reason. The people in MD have been trading for a bit longer than you.

As this is not a scam, according to you, i offer you the following advice

1)Do not brag about margins, No one cares.
2)100M a day is pretty much standard for a trader. it shows nothing special.
3)Do not hurry to defend your position with passive-aggresive means such as "you're stupid if you can't do what i do".
Infact some would call that downright aggresive.
Things like "you think i'm an alt or goon" does not look good aswell.

Just some friendly advice.
