Market Discussions

Hello, I have been playing eve since early 2009, I have ran missions/incursions/nullsec and also mining and I seem to not make much isk. Always sitting around with 200-400m watching it decrease for pvp reasons. I want to try trading, but have no idea where to even start..is there a corporation I can join, or a group to teach me?

Buy low and sell high.

At this point it almost seems like people are being mean when they use this as the reply to a beginner asking for advice. There's a reason though, it really is the one rule and the only thing that matters. It can manifest itself in a number of ways, ranging from diligent exploitation in the difference between buy and sell orders up through speculation before an expansion or patch. As a beginner your bread and butter is going to be arbitrage of the buy/sell price gap. There's nothing fancy and there's no trickery.

Ilinea's recommendation of consulting guides is as good as you're likely to get in the MD without a more specific question. Because I'm so nice here is the link to a collection of useful threads for all types of trading questions.

The "Market Discussion Resources" is already stickied and contains a link to the wiki article which I linked on the trading article compilation. It is odd that so many basic questions do show up despite this. If it is because people don't take the time to look then there's not much we can do.
