just in case somebody else comes across this connections doesn’t affect brokers fee http

it is mentioned that the only skill that affects brokers fee is base standing and broker relations.

Pricing and advice is all wrong.

To successfully trade x amount of tempest in the scenario above you would;

BUY x amount of Tempest at 0.01 ISK MORE than the highest BUY ORDER being 76,300,000.24!!!!

Once you have it in your assets and it has dissappeared from your orders tab you would;

SELL x amount of Tempest at 0.01 ISK LESS than the lowest SELL ORDER being 80,099,998.99!!!

If this goes successful with no one undercutting you [also skill dependant] you would make 80,099998.99 [minus] 76,300,000.24 [equals] 3,799,998.75 per Tempest [minusing] all tax deductions.

seriously – its not rocket science… that would lead to R&D agents… =]

Hi Kai,

I am impressed with your writing in your blogs. I am currently looking for a writer to write up a guide for EVE. I think that your expertise could make a great guide! Don’t hesitate to get in touch via email if you are interested.

Cheers!

Nice guide, I’ve been trading for a year so I skimmed it. Quick error check though,

“So, the perfect buy order here would be 79,300,000,24 isk. This will put your buy order above whoever is trading for 3 tempests. Now, this is where diligence and patience comes into play. Whoever is trading for tempests as well will try and take the top place. Maybe in 5 minutes your order will be replaced by another with a 79,300,000,25 isk.”

Shouldn’t that be “76,300,000.24″ and not “79…” on both sets of numbers.

Also, if people are interested in trading in general, they should take a look at the market graph/table. Those are pretty helpful tools to see how much of what sells and if the market had been manipulated recently (Like certain items are every Sunday in jita…)

If you are exclusively station trading, you might want to check out to filtering options to take out any orders that are 1 jump away or more.

Thanks for pointing out that error. Had to think for a bit there before it clicked.

“The same principle applies to selling, but you want your item to be cheaper then everyone elses. So with the top order at 82,483,195,99 isk, you will want to put your order at 82,483,196,00 isk.”

Pretty sure you got that the wrong way around. Not much point in putting up a sell order that’s 1 ISK above the cheapest.
