Alpha Market Trading - eighth day, over 200m

15 February 2026

The background to this series: i aiming to use Regional Trading between Jita and Dodixie to take an alpha account to Omega status.

My wealth is now over 200 million isk.

I am using two characters, both in Dodixie.

New Items to Buy

I am now selling items that i buy from Sell Orders in Jita that cost up to 20 million isk.

And i am using the Eve Excel Addin to help me find and organise it all.  That will be the subject of my next post.

The weekend has been busy, i can log in more often.  Therefore better able to keep replacing items that have been sold much quicker.

Couriering

I am still doing my own couriering.  Though the last haul today was a Jita market value of 60 million isk.  Once i get to 80m i will be outsourcing it to third parties who know what they are doing, can take the risk and therefore leave me insured against loss.

Sales

The main learning point is that Skill Books are competitive - therefore i will not be trading in Skill Books from here.

Blueprints at the 1-5 million isk level are steady sellers.

And i am finding decently sellers in the 5-20 million levels also, as shown below.

Third Character introduced

I have added a third character to Dodixie.  That will bring the total Market Order slots available to 51 (17 x 3).

Sell Orders now in Dodixie

The first two Characters are posting sell orders for now.  17 from my first character and 15 from my second.

Transaction fees do weigh at 7.5%.

Comes to a total of 285 million isk as Sell Orders.

Current Wealth.

If i only look at ISK + Market Orders + Items in Inventory that are to be sold (so ignore my catalyst, ammo etc), then my worth is 231.5million which is made up from

ISK 2.8

Inventory 0.5m

Sell Orders 285.2m

Provision 57.0m

I have always taken a 20% provision against my Sell Orders which reflects the Transaction Tax that will be paid when the items sell + the cost of reducing the price to keep it competitive if required + the eventual reduced price when sold.  In reality, i rarely end up needing this provision.  But lets keep things conservative and understand that the only ISK is ISK.  Everything else is an approximation until sold.
