Obviously it must scale mostly with number of updates.<br /><br />Overall profits (how much you make per day) on the other hand IMO scale with both the frequency of updates and the number of orders. Which has the bigger effect really depends on your exact strategy, your prices, profit margins, etc.<br /><br />High prices and big margins (the no-lifer and bot strategy) work best with a high update frequency while slim profit margins work well with infrequent updates and scale well with more orders (my strategy).MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-31330618424688608962013-08-09T10:36:45.033-06:002013-08-09T10:36:45.033-06:00How many orders I update during a session varies a...How many orders I update during a session varies an awful lot. Trying to do them all every day would be a full-time job all by itself.<br /><br />A lot of the time I just post sell orders on a few key characters for whatever was bought last night and repost/update sell orders for those items only. Or I might spend a half hour or so just updating 20 or so orders on the highest volume and most expensive items on all of my characters.<br /><br />It's pretty rare now that I actually update all orders on any character though I usually do that at least once a week on the most important characters. I update sell orders more frequently than buy orders. I do tend to update all SELL orders on 2-3 characters (Jita buyers) most days and on 5 others (major hubs) every 2-3 days.<br /><br />Also I work from home, so I'll often leave a character (usually one on a station where an obsessive camper is messing things up at the time) logged in AFK all day and check key orders in 1-5 minute sessions periodically throughout the day.<br /><br />As for ratios I don't track that kind of thing, so I really have no idea. In fact I really don't track anything other than the general trends of where my money is in JeveAssets graphs.MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-55588751636999701292013-08-09T02:31:17.819-06:002013-08-09T02:31:17.819-06:00Hi MoxNix!

This might be a good value to rate the efficiency of the items you are trading. <br />My ratio is about 2 mil per update. (with around 60 updates a day, 120 mil profit and 120 open orders). Would be interesting to figure out if this value scales mostly on the number of orders or the number of updates.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />PiterPiter Presleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025058537813378846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-21964151889828641352013-08-07T23:27:21.300-06:002013-08-07T23:27:21.300-06:00Usually it's anywhere from 1-2 hours a day.

I rarely log on all characters on the same day and when I do most of them are just for a quick skill update or to check a few key items.<br /><br />I haven't checked/updated all orders on all characters in one day in a long time. Probably over a year.<br /><br />A lot of them generate nearly passive income now. I'll leave them sit for a week or two without doing much at all.<br />MoxNixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12407914481361718041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8930529650384824164.post-78225423241665531192013-08-07T17:18:01.769-06:002013-08-07T17:18:01.769-06:00How long do you tend o spend on a weekday with you...How long do you tend o spend on a weekday with your ISK making characters?Crodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620994327943613623noreply@blogger.com
