Alpha Market Trading - 4.4 billion having bought Omega

1 May 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 4.4 billion having converted 500 Plex worth 2.2 billion into Omega.

The aim is now to renew Omega within 30 days to prove it is sustainable.  I have until 5 May to do this vs todays date of 1 May.

Therefore, i will give it one more day (tomorrow is Saturday) to invest in the market before i start to gather isk to buy the 500 Plex to buy the Omega

New Skills

My main character is now:

Retail 4 and Trade 4 - which gives it 53 selling slots.  Therefore over my 5 selling characters i have 121 slots but i suspect from here on in i will only need the 3 characters.

Broker Relations 4 - which means every item listed costs 1.8% (vs 3% base fee).

Accounting 4 - which means that every item sold attracts a transaction tax of 4.2% vs 7.5% base fee).

Advanced Broker Retaliations 4 - which means that relisting fees are 0.65% vs base of 1.5%

When to start collecting isk to buy plex?

I now have 5 days until my account needs a new Omega.  I am not sure if i can make it - it will be close.

Orders on 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 4.4 billion which is made up from

ISK 0.6bn

Plex 0.0bn (=0 Plex)

Inventory 0m

Sell Orders 4.8bn

Provision 1.0bn

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.
