So I'm interested in finding out how much you guys are able to make in an hour by "grinding" in a hub, meaning just updating your market orders constantly for an hour.

Started station trading myself on my main some 7 weeks ago and now I have about 40b in trading capital (mostly loans), 125 order slots and 5~ standing with caldari state and 7~ with caldari navy and obv trading in jita. at this point I'm able to make around 500m an hour when I try just grinding the markets for an hour straight. The way I calculate these profits is just calculating the difference between the amount of wallet+sell orders+escrow (I don't keep anything in hangars, everything is put back to the market the moment I buy them) I have when I start and when i finish.

So basically I would like to hear some other experiences from station traders on how much it's possible to make in an hour with just updating your orders constantly. Also estimates on your ISK / hours used to fix orders would be interesting to hear, normally I use about 2h total updating orders troughout the day in about 8 different sessions and make around 1,5b.

All of the numbers you are about to hear are going to be gross exaggerations for the purpose of ego inflation.

Also, I look forward to your IPO launch so we can all get a piece of this big money high-roller action.

I'd like to reserve...ummm...let's say 20b in advance.

Well even those would be welcome, I was just interested in some crude estimates on how much people are usually able to make to get an idea if I'm in the right direction with my trading.

Also no I'm not taking any IPO etc and made this thread with my alt just for the reason of avoiding evemails in game since already been telling like 5 different corp mates about my trading method which is just a straightforward buy low sell high and do it a lot.

Good luck estimating a profit per hour without running business for a couple of months.
While there are apps that can calculate that, I prefer to keep this embarrassment confidential, cause many may jump in and blush along. Oops

..Sorry that this thread is 99% trolls. This goes back to a post I made about how MD has no direction or purpose.

Station trading in Jita, casually, I net anywhere from 200m-600m an hour. Double those figures for region trading.

Get space rich at the expense of life! I didn't need those days anyway.

You could probably get up to 1 TRILLION ISK if you had the capital, + alts, and multiple appendages. So really your question should have included those things. You could go from 1000 to 1,000,000,000,000 ISK depending on capital theoretically. Also I am a space wizard.
