Hello!

I had some thoughts and i wanted to receive some advise or experience from others..

so, the situation is like this,yes.

I've been doin margin trading in Minmatar region for about 6 months now... It's been good enought to survive in EVE.
But I had a thought would it be more profitable to do station trading in Jita , than doing trading in rens( im using buy orders 4 jumps distance from rens, so i have a lot of hauling to do).

If anyone is interested what i managed to do it september: graph

Jita has *a lot* more competition than Rens. It is more profitable, with the right items, but it is also more work to do it right.

Some of that competition will be of the bot variety as well. It only takes 1 or 2 of them to really mess up your day.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Inflict the forking problem
Have 2 sell orders adjust them separately one after the bot the other to trip it.

And then the bot is set to counter this with 2 sell orders of their own...

My experience has been that you should probably have 5 sell orders of any given product in Jita, and 3-4 buy orders, if you want to stay on top of the fast-moving stuff.

Also keep sharp objects away from your reach... just for your wrists' sake.

Give it a try, the volume is a bit low for jumped orders but give it a try.
