Alpha Market Trading - over 500 million, 15th day

24 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 500 million isk.  Actually that was the day before, it is now over 600 million.

I am now using 3 characters in Dodixie and have another character in second account in Jita buying the items from Sell Orders to courier to Dodixie.

I use third party couriers given i am now sending over 100 million of items.


Ongoing work to find items to sell in Dodixie

I am now willing to buy items for up to 50 million isk in Jita to sell in Dodixie.

There are two key criteria: 1) margin must be over 22-25%; and 2) the sales volume needs to be at least 1 every 2 or 3 days.

I am looking through Blueprints, implants, boosters, rigs, ship equipment and subsystems.


Sell Orders now in Dodixie

Each character has a maximum of 17 order slots.

Three Characters are posting sell orders for now.  17 from my first character, 17 from my second and 3 from my third.





Comes to a total of 733 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 628.5 million which is made up from

ISK 42.2m
Inventory 0.1m
Sell Orders 732.7m
Provision 146.5m

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.
