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

gfldex 408	Posted - 2012.03.28 12:33:00 - [5] - Quote Quote: My efforts to research how to do this career were largely stymied by the fact that industrialists and traders do not like to share how they make their isk with anyone, due to fear of creating competition in their markets. There is another reason. As you will soon find out. Lets burn down Carebears-Online and rise Everlasting-Fun-Online from it's ashes.

Vincent Trevane Bearforce Academy 2	Posted - 2012.03.31 00:02:00 - [7] - 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

Invictra Atreides Toward the Terra 54	Posted - 2012.03.31 16:44:00 - [9] - Quote Great work Vincent Trevane. And I must add that sharing trade secrets only hurts those that are not willing to adept. In the end the Market is dynamic and the best thing today can make you a loss by tomorrow. There are guides and information for Industry/Market, but the information is represent in a way that is hard to understand for new players.

Vincent Trevane Bearforce Academy 6	Posted - 2012.04.03 01:07:00 - [10] - 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.

Jouron Hadon Shipping 29	Posted - 2012.04.03 13:43:00 - [13] - Quote Traders will and should tell you the basics. However they should never tell you what to trade. 1. If there on a hot seller they dont want to let the competition know what it is and neither should you. 2. And since the market is always fluctuating you should always be wary of some one who takes the time to give you a "hot tip" on what to trade. Its better to do it on your own trial and error then have some one pull the wool over your eyes.
Vincent Trevane Bearforce Academy 11	Posted - 2012.04.04 00:45:00 - [14] - 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'

Merik Sylvanus NovaTech Universal 0	Posted - 2012.04.05 15:31:00 - [17] - Quote Great blog, just started playing EVE myself. 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. :)
Kisumii Garoun Investment Bank Gallente Federation 4	Posted - 2012.04.05 15:45:00 - [18] - Quote You seriously got me into trading with this. I am getting much more satisfaction hunting out bargains and scanning markets that constantly change, than what I was getting doing the same level 4s over and over. First time Ive used excel in 9 years... Damn!

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.

Gut Kao Pator Tech School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.04.10 15:52:00 - [26] - Quote Interesting read. Very attractive subject, having been a market connoisseur in most games myself. Having only played for a few days so far the skills, ships, and fittings are all pretty intimidating right now. I should be flying my first industrial ship tonight though, so we'll see how well I can ply the space lanes! -Gut Kao
Lost Greybeard Fenrir's Dogs of War Union 0f Revolution 8	Posted - 2012.04.13 17:29:00 - [27] - Quote Bump, I guess. 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.

Haven Annaro Republic University Minmatar Republic 2	Posted - 2012.04.18 16:58:00 - [31] - Quote Vincent, I absolutely love your blog. It is informative, inspiring, and entertaining. I am a shiny new penny to EVE myself and the overwhelming complexity of the game has me dreaming about skill training and missions (I am not kidding, I was dreaming about missions last night). With all the unsavoury types I am discovering out in the ether, it is wonderful to see someone freely offering information to the beloved n00b audience. Keep up the fabulous work!

Marjolaine Soucie Hedion University Amarr Empire 0	Posted - 2012.05.26 18:32:00 - [48] - Quote I have to say, I have followed this blog, loving it. Great info for us new players. Now although I didn't do the trade route "hardcore", I did mix it in while missioning and exploring. Thanks to you I went from 9 million ISK to: 95 million isk on hand, 15 million isk in sell orders, and 112 million isk in buy orders in 5 days, I guess 6 days since today is the 6th day. I haven't done accounting 4, mini industrial 4 (mammoth) yet either, once I am properly flying my 1st battlecruiser doing level 3 missions, then I will get those knocked out. In any case, just wanted to say thank you. If you are needing future ideas, one of the hardest things to research and find is getting into a good corp. I have been very hesitant to join a corp so any advice on corp would be great.
Marjolaine Soucie Hedion University Amarr Empire 3	Posted - 2012.06.06 12:28:00 - [49] - Quote This needs a bump because it is a great blog to getting started in trading for those who haven't done it yet.
