Have you spoke with this other trader? Depending upon where he is at in his business and what aspirations he may share, it may be of mutual benefit to partner up. You may have to split profits, but you are doing that now anyway from the sounds of it. Not only would you be able to raise your prices considerably with less competition, you would have the benefit of getting out of the .01 game. At the same time, between the two of you perhaps your empire could expand a bit. In new products or into new territory.
Coincidentally, what region are we talking about?

He is trying to trip me up now by splitting orders and changing subtle numbers.
I am saying to come to an agreement of mutual benefit, in whatever form that may take. Whether that entails a price-setting agreement, a split of the market, a system-by-system split, or however else you two can come to agreement.. who knows.
Are you both station trading, hauling, industrialists, or what? If you each specialize in different areas of the flow more than the other you may benefit each other that way.
This is Eve, however, so be mindful that he may not be the most honorable of business partners. If you are worried that he may not be a stand up guy, start small. Make an agreement on 1-2 high volume items and see if you two can't manage that together to increase profits for both of you. If that works and you find working with one another to be benefiicial, expand.
If that fails to work you can always go with brute force.

Good luck. The first and foremost step in any pvp, market or otherwise, is to know your opponent. Do not understimate their bankroll, their allies, or their use of alts to manipulate the situation.
