Another Alt

So, I have 3 accounts, divided thusly:

Account 1
Main - member of Pandemic Horde, all rounder, has the most combat skills
Amarr Seller - sits in Amarr, sells implants and modules brought by Rens trader. My most profitable seller
Jita buyer - Character with minimal skills that sits in Jita, buys from sell orders and contracts to other alts

Account 2
Nullsec dogsbody - Also in Pandemic Horde, can use cynos, fly dreads, etc. General support character to my "main"
Rens trader - Sells in Rens, does all my trasnporting in a Crane, my old highsec "main"
Dodixie seller - Sells in Dodixie, like Amarr seller but not as profitable

Account 3
Jita station trader - a newish but profitable character, sits in a citadel in Perimeter and trades, most business done out of Jita 4-4
Amarr station trader - sits in Amarr, buys and sells without undocking
spare character - the subject of this post

As you can see, 8 out of 9 characters are utilised and have a purpose. Even though some hardly do much (nullsec dogsbody hasn't had much love recently). I've been reading a lot of blogs recently and trying to think of a way of getting the 9th character to do something useful for me money making wise.

I've been reading merchant monarchy, who made well over 800 Billion ISK in about 3 years by doing "regional trading". By that I mean setting up region wide buy orders, then collecting the items and selling them, either there or in another region. This is something I haven't tried before, so I thought it might be worth giving a go.

Therefore I gave that alt 100 million ISK, bought some trade skills, and have started training up everything I need to manage trading across an entire region. At the moment I can only utilise 13 orders (this alt really had no training), so I've put up a bunch of buy orders up in Tash-Murkon, the region next to Amarr. I've based myself out of a trade fort in the system of Tash-Murkon prime.

I'm primarily looking at low priced stuff, skillbooks, a few modules, drones, and I'll use this as an experiment for a few days/a week. I'm hoping that this is something I can not log into for several days, and not have any of my orders overcut. I'm keen to see how this goes.

If I'm not getting the turnover I would like then I have a backup plan, of applying to Pandemic Horde on this character, and trading in their staging. The margins can be pretty good versus Jita and the shipping corp is extremely cheap.
