Market Discussions

with out skills like you said your stock.
or standings

the taxes your paying on this small transactions are what are going to be to rapeing the profit not the 0.1 isking.

if ur going to trade you need to spend a little time geting the basic skills up to give you a chance at competing with people with perfect skills and standings for very very low tax.

You can make loads of isk, but you need to select your items carefully, especially being in Amarr where the market it so much slower moving. You'll certainly find it difficult to make substantial amounts of isk from 21m, since station trading usually involves making small amounts of profit but cycling quickly.

yes thats true the margins are a little larger but the volume is tiny in comparison.

station tradeing is all about volume sell sell sell, make 1m isk on 1 item or make 200k on 20 different items you make more money in the long run

Yep, trading is terrible. Stay away from Amarr.

Every station in high and lowsec belongs to a certain corporation of a certain faction. Having high standings with the corporation and especially the faction will reduce your broker fees, thereby increasing your profit. I'm too lazy to look up the exact numbers, you will have to google it.

Aside from standings, there are the necessary skills to expand your business, including but not limited to Wholesale and Margin Trading. These will allow you to have more market orders up at the same time and leverage your capital more effectively.

Lastly, as has already beeen stated, you still need to find the right items to trade. Here is a good article on how to identify good items.

Like Lordy LazyGhost said, it's not all about profit margins per sale. Say you had 100m, and you could invest in Amarr, make 1 dale per day and make 10%, you are 10m up. But if you were in Jita, and you only made 2% but sold 10 items per day, you are 20m up. The thing to remember is that a profit margin, no matter how large is entirely irrelevant if nobody is buying your stock, so don;t get hung up on search for items that make you huge percentages. Look for reasonable percentages and large volumes.

That's why I make > 1 B a trade, with very untrained characters with no standings.

Stop working hard and start working well.

Your bank roll is the main issue.

Trading is based on % of profit.
If your bank roll is small your profit is small.

Skills. Get some!

Knowledge of the market.
This doesn't come over night.
You need to know history of items.
Changes to items.
Tools/websites for the market.



I highly suggest you salvage for other players both increasing your isk and theirs per hour.
It gives you a nice entrance into selling and prices on the market.

2-3 months of salvage for higher work and you will have both the bank roll and the knowledge needed. Get the skills needed during that time.
When you have no work at any given time either hustle for more or start running missions for your chosen trade hub corp to improve your tax rate and reprocessing fees.

Market is the single best way to may isk in Eve by miles.
I out preform my L4 misisons by about 5x using the market. (( With perfect L4 mission RS all L5 skilled ))
I play market remotely while missioning just to make missioning worth it.
You are currently doing it wrong.

Welp to make the real money you get 6 accounts,

1 in each hub
1 Freighter pilot
1 Hyhena to web your freighter

Then you trade between hubs loading the freighter up not worrying about getting ganked.

I count only 2 accounts in it. There is three slots per account ;) It is just annoying to juggle with alts on same account.
