I managed to play slightly more this month, and have had a few ideas on how to expand and mix up my trading activity in order to increase profits. My current status:
As things stand, I have 234.9 Billion ISK. That's 16.8 Billion more than last month. This is a slight increase on last month, but still not a record breaker. I tend to spend about 5-10 mins every morning before work updating orders (largely my Jita station trader). I have barely touched my Amarr station trader, something I'm looking to correct going forwards.
I have 3 accounts, with 6 characters dedicated to trading:
Jita Buyer
This is a character that sits in Jita and contracts items to my other characters. This character has no training, and simply buys from buy orders and contracts the items to my other characters. I tend to have this character logged in to act as a real time price comparison whilst checking my other characters orders.
Amarr Seller
My main money maker, with ~101 Billion in active sell orders at the time of writing. Finally, 100 Billion ISK in sell orders on a single character! I'm not sure how much more I can continue to increase the sells on this character, I assume I'll hit a peak at some point fairly soon. Takes implants and faction/deadspace modules delivered by my Rens character and sells them in Amarr.
Dodixie Seller
Very similar to the Amarr seller, he sits in Dodixie, takes receipt of items, then set up sell orders. Currently has 56.5 Billion in sell orders.
Rens seller/Hauler
Like the other characters, this character takes items bought in Jita and sells them in Rens. Currently has 59.4 Billion ISK in active sells. He also hauls my good from Jita to the other trade hubs in a Crane. This is mostly implants, so high value, small volume items. This means I can fit everything for all 3 characters in a single Blockade runner, which with its current fit has about 50k EHP, and can warp cloaked. For highsec this is basically invincible, so I'm happy hauling like this, for now.
Amarr station trader
I've branched out slightly into station trading. I have a character in Amarr that sits in one station, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders. This character trades completely different items to the rest of my characters. I gave this character 1 Billion to start with, and he's currently on 4.5 Billion.
Jita station trader
My latest, and more serious station trader. I have a character in Perimeter in a player owned Fortizar, with 0.3% broker fee that sits in one station, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a reach of 1 jump. This covers Jita. Most of my items are bought and sold in the Jita 4-4 station. This character trades completely different items to the rest of my characters. I gave this character 10 Billion to start with, and he's currently on 17.2 Billion. I spent the time to get faction and corp standing up with this character, and this is my attempt to take station trading seriously. It's going fairly well, making about 1 Billion a week on this character, but it is heavily dependant on playtime, unlike my inter-hub trading.
