Can the person currently engaged in 0.01 chicanery against my orders in Amarr please cease and desist. It's no longer funny.
Also, can we have a market order mini-game, so that highly skilled traders can pwn each other's orders by winning a mini-game, thereby sending their opponent to the bottom of the sell order list? This should apply to everyone except whining vets like me. So, say, 2004 cut-off period.
Thanks. |

Oh...
I've just realise half the time I've been 0.01isk against my own orders.
Hahaha.

I've failed badly at many things in life, but I've never bought my own order.  |

I expect it's quite simple:
Drag the price down with lots of low bids, then buy all the stock.
Sell stock at other hub.
Profit! |

Profit! I'll give you a hint; razor sharp margins and a huge number of trades. No need to sell at other hubs. Don't play the .01 ISK game. It's just stupid.
I gave up on it. Now I adjust my orders every now and then. They tend to tick over at a nice clip so no point in getting stressy about it, especially if you're earning somewhere else instead of sitting looking at the market screen. |

I'm not trading as such, more selling the goods I manufacture. i.e. I'm not doing arbitrage. Anyway, this batch all sold.  |

From the perspective of a manufacturer which is where I'm coming from, trading isn't my game, building stuff is. But I have to trade in order to sell the stuff I build. I can choose two routes: sell to buy orders and let someone else have the profit maximising trading strategy, or 0.01isk my orders. When I do the latter that's time I'm not earning doing something else, so I'd rather not bother.
What I've been doing is keep my orders near the top for a few days (0.01isk) and if they don't sell on the open market because of the .isk competition, I'll dump them to buy orders, assuming the buy order still gives me a profit. I don't want to have stock hanging around you see, because for me that's a risk and I'm a relatively small player in the grand scheme of things, so I can't control the market like a big trader can.
