Trader update, 31th of october.

Quite an impressive week I must say. On my last update, I was saying that I reached the 1B ISK in my wallet. Since then, I'm hardly able to use all those ISKs without selling an equal amount a couple of hours later. Here's the big picture:
Sell order: 1.697 B isk
Buy Order: 1.040 B isk (Escrow, I didn't trained the skill that lower the amount taken in escrow. I think it's a better way to control my expenses)
Wallet: 1.149 B isk
In transit or un-sold: approx 1.3 B isk.
paid taxes: -236 410 476,69 ISK  (broker fee + sales taxes)

So, overall, considering a 20% loss with the Sell orders, I'm at 4.8 billions ISK !
For the record, I start playing as a trader with a 25m ISK budget on the last week of august 2016, which mean a 19388.44 % increase in 2 months. That's pretty insane.
Now, I have to go deeper, and find new niches items, and that's the most time consuming task I think.

What about PLEXing my account ? well, considering current PLEX price, at more a 1.2B ISK, it's not worth it I think. I will wait for a couple of months to see if the price go down around 1B / PLEX.

On my industrial characters, I've been busy researching a tons of BPOs (46 currently in research), to be prepared when alpha clones will get there. They will use a trendemous amount of munitions, ships and modules.
I intend to keep adding new cheap BPOs to my library for the next month, and building some stocks in the last week before the release.

In the meantime, fly safe.

A milestone has been reached: 1B isk.

Oh well, it's done. This morning, my wallet (idle ISK) reached 1 B ISK. I did start my experience around the 27th of August, less than 2 months later, I have a wallet of 1B ISK, 1.2B in Sell Order, 700m is Buy Order and around 40m of unsold items.
I sincerely doubt that I would have such a continued growth for the next couple of months, but I could say that I'm deeply impressed by that result.

Early october update

Things were really smooth for me since my last post, I tried to get into new markets to diversify my products. I got some successes, but I can't say that I'll keep most of these markets later on.
In the past two weeks, I send her (my trader character is a woman) some helps in the forms of two "combat" characters. Both are indy characters with some weapon skills and ships. I sent them to her to help raise my trader's corp standing with the corp owning the station.
After going to the painfully slow process of level 1 distribution missions, I decide to switch level 2 security missions, and train her some social skills to speed up the process slightly.
She's now at a standing of 7, and I'm farming level 4 missions as fast as possible with a T1 battleship and a T1 Battlecruiser. The BC take care of small stuff (Frigates, destroyers, cruisers) while the BS deal with the battlecruisers and battleships. I don't even bother to loot nor salvage wrecks.
As I don't share the mission rewards with my other toons, I collected a couple of dozens of million ISK that way on the trader, while the "fighters" keep the bounties (around 90m ISK in the course of two days)
I intend to raise that corporation standing up to 8 or 8.5, then I'll see if it's worth it to raise it further, for trade purpose.

For now, I don't complete those storyline missions, since it'll lower my status with the other half of the empire, and I'm not ready for that. I want to be able to move freely in empire.

As of today, here's the report:

Market Orders	1 247 417 046,12
Gain	531 412 115,34
Wallet	292 532 325,44

Some of those ISK in the wallet are due to missioning sadly, I didn't do the math, but I suppose that at least 30 to 40 millions ISK are due to mission rewards.

Now, let's see if I could get some new profits by the end of the month.
