Please note that you can start trading long before you reach these numbers. Also, this isn't the "ideal" stopping point, it's just a snapshot of where I've landed. This feels like an ok pausing point for my trader, so I've switched my training queue back to my main. I have 60-some market slots, and that is sufficient for now. There's no doubt that I could increase my rate of isk earning further by pushing a bit harder (first priority would be a rank or two of Wholesale, and perhaps one more rank of Margin Trading), but hey, the missus needs attention too.

Initially I was excited by the potential strategy of Marketing, Procurement, and Visibility. But to be honest, with my style of trading they haven't been terribly useful to me. By contrast, I couldn't live without Margin Trading, Daytrading (great for updating orders on-the-go), my fee-reducers (Accounting/Broker Relations), and my number of market slots. I have not tried using courier contracts to have my goods gathered for me, but this is definitely something I plan on experimenting with.
