Trading in Eve - can I do it?

So whilst the war rumbles on and Jared gets killed a lot I've been considering the best use of Rough Diamond.

I think she can have a lot of benefit acting as a full neutral alt, however I've changed my mind about how best to proceed. My PC isn't up to running 2 clients smoothly and so the idea of dual-boxing and using RD as a cloaky scout may not be that practical.

Instead, and especially as the war goes on, she could add more value as a trader and blockade runner. I started training up for industrial ship skills and ran a couple of loads of Frigates etc up the pipe but, me being me, my mind soon started to think of the possibilities of trading...

I spent a lot of time last night and this morning examining the market in Rens and Jarizza and trying to work out how it all works. I may have started to figure it out and placed a couple of tentative buy orders, just to see if I've got it right in my mind.

If I have then there's massive potential in simply using RD as a trading alt and just playing the market. I don't want to get too involved at the moment because I know myself and how flighty I can be and tomorrow may offer a new direction again (Eve has so many possibilities!) but it's sufficiently interesting at the moment, especially if I can figure it out properly!
