Original thread ^

Well, I'm posting now basically as a result of this specific quote:

I wish you the best of luck though. Its hard to break into the MD clique, but keep working at it and posting your results and in no time (eve time) you shall be swatting away investors and investing your own isk into people just like you at this point.


While I'm not at the point yet of presenting my progress in an aesthetically pleasing way (To be honest, I've not kept track of my daily doings enough to make a proper display of it, and I lack the skills I'd want in order to present something shiny) I do have some form of progress to show, and I figure MD can use a noob's doe-eyed look at the world of trading.
I'm under no delusion about the unprofessional format, and I'm pretty sure I've used terminology incorrectly and may even have made glaring errors. That is part why I'm posting this here, MD might be harsh and rip my stuff to shreds, but well... you learn more from failure than succes.

I'm starting to notice my typing becoming more incoherent as I go on (No sleep does that to a man) so I'll leave the thread for now with the following:

http://evebyymir.blogspot.nl/2013/01/station-trading-4-weeks-later.html

My post about my station trading career 4 weeks after starting. Feel free to rip it to shreds and point out any and all mistakes.
The worst that can happen is that I'll become better at formatting my information Lol

formatting not the main problem. verficiation is not so good... i could say the same stories about what ive been doing over the past few weeks, why should anyone believe you??

i don't want to trust only your own tracking of your earnings!! I want to see your api to be see your results, not a blog about what you claim is your results

yeah, in fact, im telling you right now, my profit is slightly more than yours, but otherwise trading is very similar. can i borrow some isk now? i've been around for a couple of years, so i'm trustible.

Systemkaos is wrong, there is no "MD clique".

It took us about 2 years (2009-2010) to kill it (others might say it killed itself) and when we were finished we realized that we had killed MD alongside.

There's not even the slightest sign of a new "MD elite" or a MD community that would deserve the name on the horizon. MD today is a collection of nobodies scamming each other, nobody stays around for more than a few months and nobody holds any sway anymore.

Just be as populist as you can be and make sure to wow people with your presentation. There is no Ricdic stamp of approval that you'd have to get in order to be taken seriously.

A few nostalgic idiots might critizise your offering but most actual investors don't listen to them. They won't be able to stop you if you just ignore or ridicule them and carry on.

Ji Scama, don't get me wrong I'm not asking for a loan, as I've managed to make more than I was looking to borrow and as such consider myself self-sufficient, at least for now.

This was simply meant to get my name out there, to let people know I'm still around and trading hard, get some insights from other traders perhaps.
Realistically speaking I have no clue what a normal profit is for someone station trading with similar capital, so I was also hoping to hear if I was making good profit or if it was bad/subpar.

Basically, just trying to get a bit of a discussion going =)

Edit: I've also been contacted by an MD'er offering to audit and possibly lend me some isk should that need arise, which is always nice.
