Market Discussions

The Syndicate is proud to sponsor the Syndicate Rookie Trader channel for all your needs as a growing trader and Eve player. The goal of this channel is to offer a relaxed venue dedicated primarily to helping new traders get started, while also allowing players to meet, coordinate, and just generally have fun.

We also maintain an up-to-date and comprehensive resource page below, which has everything you should need to help you get started in all manner of basic trading.

This thread will also serve as a general rookie help and discussion thread, as well as progress as a FAQ as regular questions come in.

Thanks for these info and links will help me as a new player.Bookmarked it and will try to digest it in time

Much of it is out of date and of dubious quality. This game is already a university course, so I'd like to use my experience to find a few key sources and save the newbie some hassle.

You seem helpful and full of constructive criticism that is well delivered with loads of tips and suggestions

Too bad we are not all as great !

Yes, many congratulations for your imaginary...whatever this is.

Sorry if you dropped by while I was away last week; helping my mom move into her new house (I'm the best son).

If you've got a thousand questions about trading, this is the place to come.

Varius thanks for the info last night. Much appreciated. Would recommend this channel to anyone who is new or interested in trading. Thanks agin.

Winning.

I added the market order update wars thread we worked on to the resource list.

This channel has been a big success so far. We've helped a lot of people through those really difficult first few steps, and everyone has been very appreciative and are now addicted to trading. We have also had a lot of drop-ins who just need a quick piece of advice or question answered before they're back off on their own again.

There is also now a great regular crew of traders hanging around and having fun.

If you find yourself stuck at some point or don't know what to do next, do not hesitate to drop by and ask us anything. Trading can be very hard to get a grasp of, but a little guidance and then it's easy and fun money.

Its a great Channel!

I learned a lot and am happy about such a possibility to along better in the market.
