Vincent Trevane Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.03.27 02:05:00 - [1] - Quote Hi folks, Just thought I'd share my blog with the new players here who are interested in getting into trading. I started learning about trading and industry about 6 months ago after I moved out living in a WH with my main, and found very little solid information out there. Traders typically keep their methods and their markets secret to prevent competition and to protect their profit margins. I started my blog to change that in some small way. In the blog I detail how I made my starting capital, what I invested it in and how I identified what to invest it in, the tools that I used and the difficulties that I've faced. I've shared my full API key in addition to this to give as much disclosure as possible to anyone who wants to follow what I'm doing for ideas. The blog is called Full Disclosure. The first post is here if you'd like to start chronologically, and if you'd like to just check out my weekly posts covering some of the tools I use, you can find them here. Enjoy! Any feedback is welcome. V

There is another reason. As you will soon find out. What, suicide gankers? There are far juicier targets than me out there. V
Vincent Trevane Bearforce Academy 2	Posted - 2012.03.31 00:02:00 - [4] - Quote Well, sometimes I'm silly enough to make myself a juicy target, as it turns out. Still, lesson learned. V Full Disclosure - Eve trading without the smoke and mirrors
Vincent Trevane Bearforce Academy 6	Posted - 2012.04.03 01:07:00 - [5] - Quote Thanks Invicta. You're spot on. I've made over 2b now in less than a month from a no SP, no capital start, AND disclosing everything I do. Hiding everything you do is NOT required.

Vincent Trevane Bearforce Academy 11	Posted - 2012.04.04 00:45:00 - [7] - Quote The point is to illustrate why I picked those items, how I managed them and the underlying theory. This isn't a blog to give people leads. As you've indicated, that just wouldn't work. Full Disclosure \| Free 2.5m SOMER Blink credit, use code 'Disclosure Blink'

Quick question - I'm interested so far in trading/industrial/mining, but not knowing what I was doing when I created my character I started out in Gallente. Does it make much difference, or should I have started out in Caldari (for access to Jita) or where you're at? Just want to make sure I'm not making things harder for myself while it'd still be cheap to restart. I've only been building up skills for 3-4 days so far. :) No problem with trading in Gallente space. It'll be quieter but you'll probably have less competition and therefore more margins. I'm writing a post at the moment comparing trade hubs that you might find useful to justify your decision making. It'll be out soon.

Enjoy! Any feedback is welcome. V Nice, I just quickly glanced at your links, looks like you've put in a lot of work. I bookmarked this thread for later when I have more time to actually read it. Thanks. P.S. There should be no need for you to share your full API Key, you can always select what info you want to share in the limited API Key. I did turn off communications in the key, I could probably trim it back some more over time. Cheers, V Full Disclosure \| Free 2.5m SOMER Blink credit, use code 'Disclosure Blink'

Fairly interesting, even though my involvement in trade has usually been more on the industrial rather than the speculative side (guarding xport ships, mitigating demand by cycling minerals into artificially low-cost T1 stuff for newbies since minerals from missions and PvP cost me nothing but time). Though, that said, I also feel obligated to make a "them's a lot o' words for 'buy low, sell high'" joke. You can probably boil down most blogs to something simple like that. People like to read stories though, and my writing needs a ton of practice so I'm happy to oblige. Also, I get some feedback on my practices which has a lot of value.

Commonly I only disclose some information to others when we hang around together or such. I ain't much of a blogger or pretend to be good at making homepages or stuff. So I just don't. I will share tips and tricks I have learned over time with people on occassion but I have big respect for your enterprise there. Your blog alt is going on my personal blue list. Just incase I ever get an itch of the "gankies" Heh, good luck with that. i never carry anything valuable these days, I outsource to the space truckers. Undocking is becoming quite a rare occurance.
