Alpha Market Trading - 2.9 billion wealth including 250 plex

26 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 2.9 billion, but more importantly i now own 250 plex.

This is day 48 of this project.


I am now on Phase 2 - maintaining my wealth on the market whilst buying Plex with the aim of buying one month of Omega.

I need to get to 500 Plex to buy one month of Omega.  I am buying 50 to 100 per day as my sales come through.  I reinvest half the proceeds back into my business and half into Plex.



Range of Items sold

No real change.

I am now happy to go to a maximum of 300 million purchase price in Jita.  But also happy to be as low as 100k.

Right now, the most valuable item i have for sale is a Torrent for 342 million and the lowest is a missile blueprint for 2.98 million.

The Ships are doing well.  But so are the 3 million missile Blueprints.


Sell Orders now in Dodixie

Each character has a maximum of 17 order slots = 17 x 5 = 85 slots in total.

I am now using all 5 Trading Characters in Dodixie.

Right now i am using 63 slots, so 22 spare slots.







Comes to a total of 1.8 billion isk as Sell Orders.  I think this is a good level to hold it at and so the daily sales generate enough cash to buy 50 Plex (=250 million isk) and then reinvest the rest back into the market.


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 2.9 billion which is made up from

ISK 260m
Plex 1146m (=250 Plex)
Inventory 0m
Sell Orders 1847m
Provision 369m

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.
