I currently have 595.3Bn ISK. That's an increase of 28.8Bn on last month. Exactly the same as December! I was on track to beat 1Bn a day until the last week when things slowed down massively. I suspect this is largely due to the ongoing DDOS and mitigation action related to that. Less player logging in, less market activity. I myself haven't been affected when I've logged in, but I understand a lot of people over in the US have.
I have 4 accounts, with 11 characters dedicated to trading:
Skill Point Trader
Still grinding, a long way to go before this guy really gets going. I've completed the Caldari careers missions, and 1 of the 3 sets of Gallente. A long way to go here. This one really underlines how little time I get to play!
Jita Buyer
This is a character that sits in Jita and contracts items to my other characters. This character has little training, and mostly buys from sell 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. This character also manages my long term investments, though that doesn't take much work. I am putting excess ISK into this venture, and watch delonewolf's EVE Talk to get ideas for things to invest in. Currently holding about 83Bn in orders and investments.
Amarr Seller
My main money maker, with ~158 Billion in active sell orders at the time of writing. 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 118 Billion in sell orders. No news with this character.
Rens seller/Hauler
Like the other characters, this character takes items bought in Jita and sells them in Rens. Currently has 123 Billion ISK in active sells. He also hauls my goods from Jita to the other trade hubs in a Crane.
Hek Seller
Like the other high sec seller characters, he sits in a trade hub in Hek and sells items brought to him by the Rens seller. Currently on 80Bn in sell orders. Needs to pay for his own PLEX every month, which isn't too difficult.
Amarr station trader
Sits in a player owned Fortizar in Ashab, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a range of 1 Jump to cover Amarr. 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 12.6 Billion. I've done a bit of trading on this character this month finally, and it feels like I'm making progress at long last.
Jita station trader
My more serious station trader. I have a character in Perimeter in a player owned Keepstar, with 0.5% broker fee that sits in one station, buys from buy orders and sells through sell orders with a reach of 1 jump.
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 66.7 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. He also farms SP and sells injectors on the market.
Horde Station Trader
Station trading in the Horde Keepstar in R10-GN. I set him up with 1Bn and he's currently at 6.3Bn.
Tash-Murkon Region trader
A different strategy altogether. This character sits in a player owned Fortizar in Tash-Murkon prime, and set up regional buy orders for modules, implants and drones. When a lot of orders have been filled I fly around and collect it all to sell in Tash-Murkon Prime. I set this character up with 100mil to buy his own skills and get started, after skills he had 70mil to buy items. Currently at 6.4Bn. Can fly a Crane, which speeds up my collections immeasurably. I haven't touched this character at all this month. Another thing to correct. So much to do, so little time!
Manufacturing Character
My latest character, pretty new. Currently has 11 building slot and 10 lab slots. Also has 9 structure component BPs in research, they were at ME7, and are on a final run of research to get them to ME8. This one step is taking 51 days! At that point I definitely just want to get started producing. The plan will be to sell the items produced by this character in the 5 trade hubs I sell in.
