Try using the Eve Central Trade Tool https://eve-central.com/tradetool/
Restrict the results to your current region so you can confirm the trades using the in game market tool.
Eve Central is sometimes several hours out of date so inter region trades are risky but can be very profitable if you have some way to confirm the opportunity still exists. |

Make sure you allow for brokerage and taxes. The trade tool does not take these into account when calculating profit! |

Get the basics down. Then start looking for more advanced guides. |

Trial and error is an imporant part of the road to success. Dare to try and keep that which works well for you.
Are you planning to move goods from one region to another or are you more interested in station trading?
There is no problem an air strike cannot solve.

Station trading is definetly worth it. If you search 'station trading' in this forum you'll find a ton of threads. But if you're feeling lazy, just wacht some video's:

The accuracy of this amazes me xD. That awkward moment when you are the one who is the nerd, and have 3-5 orders open so that you constantly stay on top. |

my 2c worth - if your starting small i.e. under 2b isk
if you want to trade alot work in jita - its a much faster market, if its a part time thing go for Amarr or Dodixie
look for 20% profit or 200k per item on the items your turning over - if your not making the items do stacks of 20 x2-3 so you can keep on top of the sell orders
t3 components sell well and have nice margins - avoid the guy messing with the prices over the weekend
small faction items seem to have a nice mark up in jita vs other markets (buy from amarr and ship down)
'Arbalest' Rocket Launcher I Caldari Navy Vice Admiral Insignia I Federation Navy Hobgoblin Large 'Solace' Remote Armor Repairer Medium F-S9 Shield all used to have ok margins
use a spreadsheet
observe before trading watch items for a couple of weeks and the trend the prices 1/2 the game is knowing when to buy and when to sell |

What aspects of EVE do you have an uncommon amount of knowledge about?
If, for instance, you've been in Amarr factional warfare and have a wealth of knowledge about Amarr and Minmatar common ship fits, you might be able to use that information to your advantage.

on the contracts window, search for "police pursuit comet blueprint"
just 1 example, basically you need a ship, + a bpc. |

Thank you so much! Knowing this exists has made my life suddenly much easier.
I consider myself still a newbie, considering i don't have the time to dedicate to Eve while I finish up grad school (ironically, focused in business). So I started dabbling in the trade profession knowing I could leave for a few months and come back...and dropped about a billion ISK in to learn the market and its fluctuations. I figured station trading was a good, SAFE way to start -- glad to see my assumption was right. I'll now add Eve Central to my bookmarks :)
As like the OP, I'm appreciating the advice I'm hearing on this thread. Thanks all! |
