Is there currently an active rookie trader help channel? I know these things come and go over the years, so I'm curious if there's a good one going right now.
If not, then I'd like to use this thread to put one together including some up to date guides and resources. I'm sitting down to a long haul at the trading game after being away from Eve for a while, and I'd like to do a little something on the side. In addition, I really enjoyed helping people in my NPC corp, surprisingly, and would like to continue that with noob traders.
I think there are enough existing materials that there's no need to make anything new, rather it is a matter of finding a few of the best and most up to date guides, and then adding whatever bulk channels, market tools, etc are active right now.
Also, if there isn't a good channel right now, I'd appreciate some other old hands who are around and like helping to take some turns in the channel when they are on and feel up to it.
Thanks is advance for any help. Be back to check the thread tomorrow. |

Ok, going ahead on the assumption that there isn't currently an active rookie trader help channel. This is what I've knocked together so far. All input and help is welcome.
Syndicate Rookie Trader
The Syndicate Rookie Trader channel is a help channel designed specifically for new traders. All questions are welcome no matter how new you are to Eve or trading. Please follow the link in the Message of the Day at the top of the channel to find a wealth of up to date rookie trader resources. The channel is unmoderated as long as questions are getting answered. If your conversation is interrupting the flow of answers, please take it to a private chat. Otherwise, people are free to do what they want. Feel free to make deals with each other, but don't spam. The Syndicate takes no responsibility for transactions undertaken in whole or in part on this channel, so do so at your own risk.
We are aiming for 23.5/7 veteran trader/moderator coverage. Please forward all interest to Varius Xeral.

There's a sticky called "Market Resources".
It links to an evelopedia page.
That evelopedia page has the list you are currently trying to compile.
I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Had a nice chat with the only other actual "market manipulator" I've ever met, and the only one I've even heard of besides Goons.
Was really fun to shoot the breeze over internet spaceships trading and general market play.
Helped a few noobs since starting. Drop by and ask those burning questions that keep you up at night. |

I added the market order update wars thread we worked on to the resource list.
This channel has been a big success so far. We've helped a lot of people through those really difficult first few steps, and everyone has been very appreciative and are now addicted to trading. We have also had a lot of drop-ins who just need a quick piece of advice or question answered before they're back off on their own again.
There is also now a great regular crew of traders hanging around and having fun.
If you find yourself stuck at some point or don't know what to do next, do not hesitate to drop by and ask us anything. Trading can be very hard to get a grasp of, but a little guidance and then it's easy and fun money. |

I've been hanging out in the channel for a few days now, and must say have had many, many questions answered quickly and effectively. Plus it's just plain fun sometimes.
I would highly recommend to any budding traders like myself, and would also like to invite more veterans to come in so I can barrage you with questions  |

Nice to see a helpful spirit on the ol' MD forum.
I hope you get around to improving the list of resources by updating the Market resources wiki page, rather than locking the resources into a forum post.
Here's my effort to consolidate some answers from an old questions-and-answers thread on the old forum: wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Market_Discussions_FAQ, some of which may help now.
Also, on top of that chart I made about Market Broker Fees and Standings, which you have already listed, here's a diagram I made about remote trading skills: http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/Thoraemond/eve-trading-skills-for-remote-orders-20101217.png |

Still going strong.
A steady trickle of people need help and guidance still, though I do feel we've cleared a big group of people that have been interested in trading for a long time but never had the place to learn.
We're always happy to answer questions and give advice, and there is a community of regulars if people just need a place to hang while playing...though they are rather odd people...
Thanks to everyone who has helped contribute so far or put in a good word here. I am very satisfied with the success of this channel, and I have every intention of continuing it as a service to the community in perpetuity. |

Wassup, spacenerds?
Inspiration has hit me in the face with the bat of insight and drive, so I haven't had much time for or interest in Eve this week. I hope some of the less creepy denizens of the channel have been helping people out in my absence.
That said, all I want to do this weekend is veg out, so there's a very good chance that you can catch me online and ready to offer some guidance this weekend.
Don't sit there struggling and pulling at your hair; trading in Eve is weird, and a little bit of guidance at the start goes a long way. |

Definitely. One of the main points I push is that a lot of trading is just getting out there and finding out what works for you. My goal for helping in this channel is to give a sense of structure to the absolute assault of conflicting opinions and information, so that you can make those first few steps towards navigating it all yourself.
If you find you're in a place where you just don't know where to start, then drop by and we'll get you sorted.

Many Traders are Moving to us for our speed, which is obviously needed when trading since price flux will lower margins over time on most things.

In the meantime, it sounds like SCC has got their **** together recently with respect to actually helping traders, so I recommend taking your questions and problems there. You can find their thread on the first page of MD.

Not fair waving goodbye on a cliffhanger like that? What kind, how long, is it scifi, where to get it, or read excerpts?
Oh and by getting their **** together I guess you mean I finally got over my rage-break. 
btw: Varius I started a small side project a while back, the gmba channel and corp named Galactic Master Business Academy, to do some semi RP pro trade teaching. I never got it off the ground, but maybe we could do some grand joint venture thing on improving MD and access to source material and things of this nature?
Let me know what you think and may the muse be with you.

I would be happy to actively participate in such an endeavor when I get back.
Thank you for the well-wishes. There's nothing to do out there but work, which is why I go.
That def sounds like something relevant to the EVE playing community. 
Is this going into print, and are you a published writer by profession?
Will you be releasing some excerpts from this for us pod pilots?

Hopefully it's good enough. My first is with the editors right now.

I like to keep my game persona and real life separate. I'm a much bigger jerk irl, and I wouldn't want to spoil my sunny game reputation.

Understandable. Some prefer staying anon. It just becomes practically impossible over time to the best of my knowledge. Too many hints leak out and then its a matter of skill and will to actually figure out who people are. In my experience most EVE players are really nice people even though they are pretty good at being periodically jerks. 
Would you maybe be interested in then putting some writings together for the lounge blog, on the topic, maybe just something a bit simplified and more directly related to the EVE universe?
Its here: scc-lounge.net
The reason it looks slightly neglected is there have been a fall out of participants, and I just crawled back in pod actively a while ago.

Well, it's all about maintaining plausible deniability, then people can guess until they're blue in the face.
I'm sure I could knock out a few articles for mass consumption that relate to Eve trading, though I very specifically and purposefully don't work professionally in economics. Not sure exactly what I'd do, but there are definitely topics out there I'm sure.
Perhaps something about how trade hubs are formed? |

That would be a very interesting topic, especially if angled towards how to promote similar behaviour on smller scales? Like how to catalyze the emergent formation of a hub.
Usually the individuals and groups proactive influence is highly underrated by most articles and commentary on hub formation history. |
