Well since you are in Ahkour system I suggest you start there, open the map find a destination you want to go to and hit autopilot. Twisted

Start with researching the market in your area of choice, particularly high-volume items, fast items. They can have somewhat bad margins but will most likely net you some fast profit as well.

And this may sound bad but, every trader does item research and look for oppurtunities. So you're gonna have to do that as well, check the price graph and the volume traded below it, they help a lot.

This isn't by any means the most up to date article in the world but it got me started way back when and it'll give you a good grasp of the basics to get going. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Trading_%28Profession%29

If you want more, there's a lot of valuable information on this forum, you just have to look for it.

Stay away from Jita unless you know what you are doing. Keep an eye in the price history. Get involve with other traders. Look for the trading chat channels in game.
