Start small, reinvest, and you will soon see your total ISK grow very quickly. When you start working with billions of ISK you can trade higher priced items, which, in turn, can increase your margins and also price out some of the competition!
Trading
The market is essentially an automated list of item exchange contracts: buy orders and sell orders. Since orders can be partially filled and searched easily, it tends to be a lot more convenient than trading through contracts, although the basic principle is the same. Another advantage of the market is that it’s easy to see the price and quantity that items are actually selling for, using the market details tab.
- Easy to get started: You can start trading right away on a character with no skills, and the amount of skill training needed compared to other professions is fairly low. The only skill you really need to start with is Trade , without which you’ll probably feel a little limited in the number of orders you can have open.
- Easy to do during war: With a small investment in skills (Marketing, Procurement and Daytrading to level 2) you can easily station trade in one system while docked up in another, or use an alt to trade in other ways.
- Time-flexible: A lot of trading happens while docked up, and it’s easy to go AFK with no real danger most of the time. While this isn’t true during hauling, good hauls tend to be fairly short and you can always dock up halfway through.
- Scalable. With more money you can invest in more items making you more money.
Skills
- Marketing ( 3x , 3.5M ISK ) – allows to setup sell orders remotely.
- Procurement ( 3x , 1.5M ISK ) – allows to setup buy orders remotely. The range of these buy orders are controlled by Visibility skill. E.g. with level 5 Procurement skill orders can be set up anywhere in the region, but with level 0 of Visibility they will be limited to a station where they are set.
- Daytrading ( 1x , 15M ISK ) – allows to managing orders remotely.
- Visibility ( 3x , 7.5M ISK ) – increases maximum range of remote buy orders, so sellers can fill such orders from any station with this range of the remote buy order. Every buy order can have own effective range limited to this skill.
- level 0: limited to current station
- level 1: anywhere within current solar system
- level 2: 5 jumps
- level 3: 10 jumps
- level 4: 20 jumps
- level 5: entire region
A station trader with zero standings will pay between 5.1% (at max skills) and 11% of the order price as fees/taxes. This is important to take into account when calculating your profit, but of course the standings can change that further. With max skills and max standings a station trader will pay 4.6% of the order price as fees/taxes.
Broker’s fee
Broker’s fee is paid every time a sell or buy order with duration other than "immediate" is created. The broker’s fee is a percentage value of the total value of the created market order. The broker’s fee is paid immediately when the order is created. If the order is taken down the fee is not paid back. The minimum broker’s fee is 100 ISK.

The owner may set different fee for different standing levels. half of the paid broker’s fee goes to the wallet of the corporation that owns the structure. The minimum broker’s fee in player owned structure is 1%.
Relist fee
You have a sell order for 13000x tritanium at 6.00 ISK each.
You have already sold 3000x tritanium so there are 10000x tritanium left in the order. This is total of 60000 ISK.
You increase the price to 7.00 ISK each. The new total is 70000 ISK.
Your broker’s fee after skills and standing is 1.88%. Your Advanced broker relations level is 4 so your relist fee is
(0.5 – 0.06 × 4) × 0.0188 × 70000 + 0.0188 × ( 70000 ISK – 60000 ISK ) = 530.16 ISK
You are trading in a structure with 1% broker’s fee. Your advanced broker relations level is 0. You have a buy order for 1000x item A for 1k ISK each.
you update the order to 10k ISK each.
You will need to pay 140k isk taxes ( 0.01 × 9000000 + 0.5 × 0.1 × 10000000 = 140000 ).
If you just create new order you need to pay 100k ISK taxes ( 0.01 × 10000000 = 100000 ).

Why start investing
Investing is the opposite of spending money in the present; it saves money for the future in the expectation that it will grow over time, but equally important, it also carries the risk of losing money which is why it’s important to utilize all of the tools at your disposal when you invest.
One such investment vehicle is buying stocks. Ideally, through buying stocks, you will be able to increase your money and outperform inflation over time. As you move closer to your financial objective, you can gradually reduce your stock holdings and increase your bond holdings, which are typically more secure.
The easiest and most common approach for beginning investors to get exposure to stocks is through the stock market. Investing in stocks is simply purchasing small shares of ownership in a publicly-traded company.
By investing in these modest shares, you’re hoping that the firm will grow and prosper in the long run, which is the aim. As a result of the company’s growth, in the future, other investors may be willing to pay more for your shares, and if you decide to sell them, you’ll be able to make a healthy return.

Commons mistakes by novice investors
An inexperienced investor is prone to making costly errors due to overconfidence, impatience, or even naiveté. However, these blunders may be quite expensive; therefore, learning how to avoid them is highly recommended.
Before you begin investing, it is essential to obtain some knowledge in order to maximize your profits and minimize your losses. After reading this guide, you’ll have a better sense of the mindset you’ll need, the expectations you may have, and the techniques that will be most effective. Here’re the most common mistakes made by novice stock traders:
- Buying Penny Stocks: Traders may purchase Penny Stocks for as little as $5, with many of them trading for as little as 800. For new traders, the appeal is that you can get a lot of shares for not much money. However, it is common for these stocks to sink to zero, and just a handful soar. It’s also worth noting that unprofitable businesses may easily be manipulated by scammers hype up online “pump-and-dump” in schemes.
- Not diversifying: Not diversifying enough is another common investing mistake. Owning ten energy companies and ten electric vehicle (EV) companies is not diversification. A drop in the price of oil or gas could change the fortunes of half your portfolio, as could chip shortage that could put factory production on hold. By investing in a range of industries and a range of countries, you can mitigate the risk.
- FOMO and buying stocks at all-time highs: Purchasing shares at a downturn in the market may result in significant gains in the future. It is better to avoid succumbing to the fear of missing out (FOMO) and buying shares at all-time highs. At times, exercising restraint and patience is the most sensible course of action. However, this does not imply that if the value of a certain stock falls, you should buy more. Do some research before purchasing any further shares.
- Not paying attention to investments: Even if you want to be a buy-and-hold investor, you shouldn’t ignore companies you’ve already bought. Keep up with them if you want to get the most returns on your investments. Most recommend doing so at least once a quarter. Look at their quarterly financial reports to see how the business is performing and what the management says about it.
