Good T6 trade income?

I have a T6 with 104 cargo space capacity and 19.25ly jump laden. I am trading in an isolated high tech - industry - agricultural loop, with high supply/demand making about 1.2 mill cr per hour. Would you say that this is a good trade income? What is the highest possible trade income per hour in a T6?

Hope some trading experts can share some knowledge, thanks! :)

Find a small (160+) loop to trade rares, factor in station->to->station trading as you go around the loop.

I'm not saying 'net-per-hour' it's more money, but it's a heck of a lot more fun than the A <-> B tedium!

hmmm, yes, I did do rares earlier. However I found it less profitable, because too much time was spend (even in my trading cobra) to hunt down enough rares to fill the hold. Also for now I actually enjoy making the A <-> B run as quickly as possible. On station approach I find it fun to hone my flying and landing skills. Going through the docking port at 200 speed is fun, and not too dangerous once you have got the hang of it.

Yeah I agree.
I have a T6 and have found such a route (okay a nice commander tipped me off) and I have fun trying to shave time of the A<->B run, boosting through the letterbox etc.
BUT that is because I play so rarely and I haven't ground my fingers to the bone doing it - only 2 short sessions (so 2Mill worth)
Now I have decided to have fun doing huge Rares loop which hopefully will net me around 10Mill but I get to practice exploring skills before getting the Asp and making the pilgrimage to Sag A*

If you can make 1.5-2m per hour in a T6 you're doing very well. However, 1.2-1.5m per hour is respectable.

And that for me is the pleasure of ED - I had a nice A->B->C->A... route earning me decent money... and then one day I just decided to step outside my comfortable 6-12 location universe, and head out into the big-black... and I'm having a hoot!

I'd be making more money doing what I was, but I'm enjoying this more just now. Next week? Maybe I'll be back to the A->B->C->A... route... or maybe I'll just be heading out of all the popular systems in as straight a line as I can manage...

I can't wait to meet the Thargoids... I just hope I get back alive, to tell the tale...

:D
