Spreadsheet Warrior? Or 'eyeball' it?

I'm also interested if there are any who completely spreadsheet warrior it or just eyeball it?

Passively Trading

It's been forever it feels like since I've really had time to log and do more than seriously basic items.

I've mainly kept my main in training and let all my industry alts lapse after Crius. It didn't help CCP couldn't figure out mineral requirements on blueprints in the patches leading up to Oceanus.

Phoebe will make things interesting. I've got no time to deeply research the in's and out's, so I've returned to trading. I've been banking capital for months and kept a single Jita alt buying and selling. In theory, I could re-activate a few Indy alts and find an NPC station with a low index and go nuts. But that's more effort than I feel like expending currently.

I will be training alts that exist solely to trade in each hub and between each region. Yes, it's some form of effort but very low effort. I can spend 10-20 idle minutes a day over the accounts bumping orders and processing shipments to other traders. 

Why not choose something that is better return? Moon mining? Incursions? Capital construction?

I could do any or all of those things. Catch is not a stable environment currently for those items. Moon mining is an alliance level activity and my little industry corp within Brave cannot defend any assets with any ferocity. Incursions are lucrative for sure, but again, this requires me to F1 things and unless in well protected space is disastrous in null. The only one I can speak to is capital construction. I will require more isk to invest in blueprints, minerals and shipping. More effort than I'm going for in this likely permanent experiment.

Another update soon. Or in a few months, these are effort after all...
