September Update - Industry

 A month of two halves this one, much improved second half of the month. My current position:

And the graph:

My current net worth is 33.4Bn ISK. That's an increase of 4.7Bn ISK, or 156mil/day.

That's not a record, but it is an improvement on the last few months. So what changed? 

Primarily, salvage prices have levelled out now that the new null exploration anomalies have hit the happy medium of what people are willing to run them for. Expect some ups and downs but I am no longer chasing rig prices down properly, which is great! You can see this change hit around the middle of the month as my profits suddenly spike.

Tied with that, one of my high sec alts has reached the point where he can invent and build medium and large T2 rigs, so I've just switched him over to that. At the moment it's primarily Medium Capacitor Control Circuit IIs. Why those? Well, they're consistently and healthily profitable, I currently build them for about 4mil each and sell them for about 7 mil. They also have the crucial revenue property that Mobile Depots have, that being I can put up as many as I can build in a day and be reasonably confident that by the time I log in again they'll all be sold. This applies to both high and null sec. 

This means I've moved that char away from depots, so some of the BPOs I have are getting some extra research. Pretty soon I'll be operating entirely from 10/16 BPOs for them, which will be nice. I've also just started up a couple of factory planets creating Guidance Systems feeding into Depots, bringing my input costs down further. It's pretty click intensive to set up but restocking is pretty easy and the new(ish) templates are a godsend, I can duplicate it to other planets really easily. I might just keep this up, it seems just on the right side of worth it for now.

I'm hoping over the next couple of months I can fill out my last 2 character slots on my second and third account, to bring me to 9 industry chars total. Initial thoughts would be to slot them into my highsec operation or use 1 as a test run for a lowsec freeport to check that side of things out...TBD on that one.

Hoping I can get further up the profitability this month, and all being well I should be able to have a record breaker. Fingers crossed!

September Update - Trading

 A steady and relatively uneventful month this one, my current position:

And the full breakdown:

My current net worth is 1.134Tn ISK. That's an increase of 11Bn ISK, or 366mil/ISK/day. On the face of it that's pretty poor but during the month I spent 19.1Bn on a years PLEX for my first industry account so my operating profit for the month was a much healthier 30Bn.

Still nothing spectacular but a steady increase that I hope to build on in October. Though I have had a return to office order that may impact order updating and my playtime more generally, as I expect to get back from London late a few evenings a week which has knock on effects.

On the plus side my expansion of selling in Horde staging has been going well, with sometimes around 70Bn in sell orders and revenue comparable to dodixie, this is definitely worth keeping up with. Also I've managed to increase my sell orders to over 900Bn. The screenshots have been taken before trade runs so I have a lot of ISK in my wallet, but I am creeping towards the trillion in sell order target.

Plan for October is to increase my revenues, particularly in null, and push my sell orders higher towards the 1Tn mark. Probably still a few months away but steadily heading in the right direction.
