I am getting abit bored of mission running and want something else to do when I get handed some of them rubbish missions and would rather wait 4 hours to turn it down.
So basically, Can you roughly make the same amount of isk trading than you can mission running? Basically if you put 2 hours into mission and 2 hours into trading would you make about the same amount? (I understand you have to wait for stuff to sell on sell orders and stuff to be selling for good prices on the market etc.
I have access to all freighters and transport ships.
Cheers

You dont need ships to make money trading. You can sit in station and do nothing but refresh orders and make money

ist more easy as you dont need hardly any skills, just sitting in a station and making money, mission running is just for kicking into some other profitable thing which needs some cap to be effective in beggining and for standings

yes you can. But that doesn't mean you will. They are very different professions. In missioning time is very much the limiting factor. Trading is more about knowledge, capital, and real time. Obviously you need game time to create the trades, update the trades, and possibly haul - but how much isk you make trading depends more on the first three.

I will have a read up in the guides about training etc. Just seems usefull to get to understand how the market works as i'm going into proudction. So having an idea of what the current highs and lows are will help me decide what to put in the cooker ready for when the prices that start going up.
Thanks for the help.

You can do both at the same time with the appropriate skills.

This. Half the trade skill suite (Marketing, Procurement, Visibility and Daytrading) is about being able to create/update your orders from afar. I'd say it's well worth it, as it practically eliminates "downtime" in EVE. You just have to be good at multitasking.

In EVE, when someone undercuts you, they're a lemming.
When you undercut someone else, it's skill/effort/manipulation.

I am a former mission grinder, and once I got my head around the basic concepts of trading, I've never gone back.
Growth in trading is exponential. You buy $50mil worth of stuff, sell it for $55mil, and reinvest that profit over and over. Missioning on the other hand will give you roughly the same payout each day you spend doing it, and you'll never get more than that (unless you move up to higher level missions or get a better ship which does them faster).
The one drawback of trading though is that spending your capital to buy a pvp ship means you are losing that much money which you would normally reinvest to make more money. You can spend your income from missioning and you'll always have your missioning ship to make more.

I still don't get why people think mission running and trading are mutually exclusive. I'm terrible at multitasking so I eliminate as much micro management as possible.

As people have already mentioned, real time is a definite factor in trading. Meaning, you can't sit down for 3 hours, grind out some trades, and make as much money as you would missioning. You can certainly spend 3 hours trading at a time, but you will be entirely limited by the turnover of your products. You might not see any sales in the 3 hours you are online, but you might also wake up and find your wallet is full the next morning.
