    Your market is the only building that can keep you supplied with resources once your cranking out massive amounts of troops. Its very simple really. You just find the resource with the largest gap between the BID and the Offer prices. Once you figure this out you buy for a decent price, then sell for more.. When putting in your bid price, be sure to pay attention to the rest of the bids also, not just the one on the top of list. Pay attention to the amounts people are trying to buy. Heres an example.

    Amount Price
    200000 5.98
    100000 5.89
    10000000 5.1
    4000000 5.05
    3000000 5


    Ok, you'll notice that the first 2 bids are for substantially more then the 3rd Bid. Also take note that that they are for small amounts of the item. So what happens is as soon as 200000 gets sold for 5.98, that bid goes away and it moves to the next one. So now the order for 100000 gets filled. Then the 10m bid guy starts getting his for 5.1. In this example you would set your bid price at 5.101 because as soon as the small amount of 300000 whatever gets sold to those 2 people you become next in line. And once you have lots of gold/resources you can actually fill those peoples orders yourself to get them out of your way so you get priority. When selling back, always remember that any profit is good, however more is better. But keep in mind that if you do MORE transactions (Buy, Sell) for a smaller profit your actually going to make more in the long run. So no matter what as long as your making a profit your doing something. Once you sell the resource back you then buy more, and now you can buy more because of the profit you have made. My 4th day on this server a friend gave me 2mil gold. I haven't run out of gold or anything else since then. If you use this strategy you are guaranteed to make a profit and be able to stockpile your resources.
