Ballz out! Thorax engagement 1

I am very glad that i finished my medium blaster training and now i'm able to use a Thorax!

Thorax is one step closer to Deimos, which I'll be flying solo in the upcoming 3-4 months.
Now,what i actually did with my thorax was that I didn't use standart fit (electrons,web,scram,1600mm plate etc). But i made it x2 MAR. That's because of 2 reasons:

1) I do not use slave set yet
2) x2 MAR Thorax might work better when I am facing more than 1 hostile.
3) It's a good practice before using Deimos

So, my first encounter was a little too ballsy. I engaged a condor,coercor,thrasher,slicer and a jaguar on Nenn  gate in Akidagi.
The idea was to simply kill coercer, then thrasher and then just jump out if no one will be in range.
So when i first jumped to aki fron nenn, i saw that they were already waiting for me. Not reinforcement. Just me vs squids.

 noticed that Coercer was behind the gate, so i primaried thrasher. Soon after releasing my drones on him and srcrambing i noticed that only he was aggro-ed. So to be honest i was a little disappointed, because i really wanted a good fight out of this. Didnt even need to use my MAR, just simply brawled that thrasher to the death when watching his friends warping away.

So much for squid friendship,eh.

Kill  , how that jammer got there i can't tell.

Making Money on September

Its been one month. Tried to combine RL and EVE trading. I've been trading for about 7 months now.
Here i show you my last month of trading. Not sure how much i made during this time, but i am sure that is sufficient enough in order to live in EVE. I was simply too lazy to fill my sheet every day, like I did last couple of months. But here is the graph of how many income/outcome ive got.

Basically what I've learned that you make 10% average profit from your average outcome and income sum.

That's not a super trading you see below. Someone might say that it should grow exponentially. But that's not true. Because I do margin trading and market has its own capabilities and for example this is an average capabilities in Minmatar space with ant trading alt who has 109 orders available to him.
There are some phenomenal in the graph, when i sold a lot of goods in order to gain a bigger amount of ISK to make reasonable buy orders, or simply I had too many items at my disposal.

Average income(Ia): 712mil ISK
Average outcome(Oa): 721 mil ISK
n-days
Average 10% profit i made in September:  (Ia+Oa)*0.05*n = 1433*1.55=2221 mil

So on average i made 2,2bil per month. Considering that's average, because i usually do not trade items which has less than 10% margin. Of course sometimes market changes and it is impossible not to loss money on very fast changes, I see a 10% profit as a very realistic profit to be made from margin trading.
