Alpha Market Trading - 1.2 billion

9 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 1.2 billion.

This is day 30 of this project.

Things have been slower in the last few days.  Main reason is that the competition for items valued at over 40 million is higher and then combine that with updating prices with a high Broker Fee mans that profits can be quickly depleted if sales are low vs updating volumes are high.

Therefore, focusing on items that sell at least once a day is important.  No more items that sell once ever two or Three days if there is active competition around.

Hence, i have gone back to selling the cheaper blueprints because they sell well and are highly profitable, as well as looking for the higher value items to sell.

Sell Orders now in Dodixie

Each character has a maximum of 17 order slots = 17 x 3 = 51 slots in total.

Right now i am using 37 slots, so 14 spare slots.

Comes to a total of 1.4 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 1.2 billion which is made up from

ISK 88m

Inventory 0m

Sell Orders 1392m

Provision 278m

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.
