Real trading walkthroughs and strategy notes built around the ISK Scout toolkit.
Every post documents a real trade executed with ISK Scout — actual routes, actual ISK figures, and screenshots from the run, written by the developer who plays the game. Expect first-hand trade run logs, monthly reprocessing market reports, and practical strategy notes rather than recycled patch summaries.
Multi-part guides walking through one trading topic in depth.
Foundational guides to EVE Online trading — how to make ISK, market mechanics, fees and taxes, trading skills, trade hubs, and risk management. Start here if you are new to station trading and hauling.
Real EVE Online trade runs, one destination per post - buy at a hub, haul the cargo, sell remote. Honest profit, ROI, and risk on every run.
Monthly, data-driven breakdowns of the items that were actually worth buying and reprocessing at EVE Online's main trade hubs — pulled straight from ISK Scout's order-book scans.

T1 manufacturing from the first BPO to profitable builds: ME/TE research, system cost index and job fees, and the mined-minerals-are-free trap that eats new builders.
Reading EVE market charts like a trader: SMA, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and ATR, when they agree, and the patch-note caveat that outranks every indicator.
