Alpha Market Trading - 1.4 billion wealth having bought Omega

05 April 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 1.4 billion having converted 500 Plex with 2.2 billion into Omega.

The aim is now to renew Omega within 30 days to prove it is sustainable.


New Skills

With Omega came 100,000 skill points to allocate and a cerebral booster to speed up skill learning.  And i still have the 10,000 skill points from the training at the start of all this.

I spent 5 million isk buying the Accounting skill which will reduce the Transaction Tax on each sale which currently costs me 7.5% to 3.3% by level 5.  I will need to increase the Trade Skill to level 4 to started training Accounting.

I also spent 125k on Retail which gives me 8 additional Sales slots per level.  And i only need to be Trade Skill 2 to start training it.

Therefore, i am going to train the skills in the order below:



And the application of the Skill Points will get me this far:



therefore, my Broker Fees for this character are now 2.1% (vs 3%) and the Transaction Tax is 5.0% (vs 7.5%).  And i have 45 Sales slots.


Orders on the Market

My main character now has 45 slots and is training up in Accounting and Broker Relations Skills to reduce the cost of selling items and the cost of listing items.











































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 1.4 billion which is made up from

ISK 0.2bn
Plex 0.0bn (=0 Plex)
Inventory 0m
Sell Orders 1.4bn
Provision 0.3bn

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.
