Alpha Market Trading - over 900 million

1 March 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 900 million isk.

This is day 22 of this project.

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 100 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.

As my wealth grows two things are happening:

1) I am moving out of the lower value items.  Their profit margins are some of the best but they no longer move the dials.  Buying missile blueprints in Jita for 1 million and selling in Dodixie for 2 million is great stuff but is now pocket money.

2) The upper value i am willing to contemplate is rising.

Therefore, i keep assessing the same items and rejecting some because they are too low in value and accepting new ideas which are now in my value range.  I.e. items i can buy for 1 million are out vs items i can buy for 40 million are in.

Sell Orders now in Dodixie

Each character has a maximum of 17 order slots.

And i am getting close to using all the slots from all 3 characters.  I suspect i won't run into a slot problem as i move out of the lower valued items and replace with higher valued items.

Comes to a total of 1.1 billion 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 956.0 million which is made up from

ISK 86.3m

Inventory 0.1m

Sell Orders 1087.0m

Provision 217.4m

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.
