Hi All.

The majority of my income has been from me selling plex, but as that isn't viable at the moment, i have decided to start trading.

I transferred 20m into my corp wallet, and have been selling old modules, minerals, ships and such.

I now have 204m in the corp wallet.

My question is now that i have more capital, what are my next steps to making even more

buy low, sell high.

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

so just scale everything that i am doing now, and eventually millions will turn into billions.

Is there anything in particular i should avoid at this juncture? Or anything i should focus on?

Lol no one will tell you which items work well. No one wants additional competition.
If you cant find your own ways, you shouldn't even try to become successful as a trade. Its not only about spreadsheets, you also need some talent for understanding the market.

well i wasn't expecting people to say buy this here and sell it there.

I was looking for perhaps general advice that got them started in the first place

you're welcome.

These videos are partially outdated and not very good in the first place, imho (i.e. overview settings, quickbar, trade history). The 1st one is worth watching to get an idea what to trade as a beginner. But before you watch it I'd suggest to watch a better traininig vid to get the basics right. Found this in the youtube short list, glanced over it and it seems ok: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI8EyalC1J4
