I was wondering how I can scale up my trading operations after margin trading. According to mogul, I currently make around 150-200 on weekdays and 250-300 weekends (millions). However, my operation isn't really scaleable as is. I play for 6 hours a day or so, spending 5 minutes modifying orders, 10 minutes doing something else, then back to orders, etc. I have between escrow, sell orders, wallet, and items that will go up as sell orders soon, around 8b. I have an 11% margin according to Mogul. What can I do at this point to increase my income, preferably without increasing quantity of orders? Thanks.

Everything deppends on what products and markets you operate on. Most "1-fits-all" solutions for trading arent the best.

If con is the opposite of pro, then is Congress the opposite of progress?

Aside finding better items like mentioned above it's gonna be tough without rising amount of orders. With help of Evernus features and its margin tool (or Elinor which I still prefer) large order quantity is not really an issue (and the most frustrating constraint is game's limitation to maximum 20 updates per minute). At this very moment I have around 20b in buy orders (escrow+add) and 12b in sell orders (270+ orders total).

It helps a lot if you seek to understand the principle in which the tools work instead of only using them.

Invest big in swing market trading, let the market work for you.

Then you capital can grow as much as you want.

If you're swinging bigger lines, then you might want to look at longer-term trading and investing.
