Your First Flip
Put your bank to work on the Grand Exchange.
Every item on the Grand Exchange trades at two prices: the high that impatient buyers pay and the low that impatient sellers dump at. That spread is your margin. Buy low, sell high, and the exchange fills both offers while you do something else.

No stats required
Your margin doesn't care about your combat level or quest log. Capital is the only skill, and more capital means bigger profits.
Passive profit
Set your offers and go skill, boss or log out. The exchange fills them while you're away.
It compounds
Buy limits reset every 4 hours and you can work several items at once, so every profit rolls straight into the next trade.
How the margin works
Buy at the low, sell at the high, and the spread minus the 2% GE tax is your profit. RS3 Exchange runs those numbers on every item, around the clock. Let's walk through a real trade.

Step 01
Spot the margin
Open the GE Tracker and pick High Volume Profit from the Preset menu. It narrows the whole market to the most liquid items that still clear a profit after tax, biggest earners first.
Step 02
Read the live margin
Expand the row and its chart opens on Live: every five minutes of the last day, with the Buy Price on top and the Sell Price under it. The gap between them at the right edge is the margin trading right now. When both lines are moving steadily with that gap between them, the margin is live and you can trade it.
Step 03
Make the trade
Click the item's name to open its page. The price panel there has your entry, your exit and your profit. For Dragon bones, as recorded:
Enter at the Sell Price
At the Grand Exchange, put in a buy offer for 10,000 Dragon bones at 905 each. If it doesn't fill, check recent trades before you bid higher: every coin you add comes straight off your margin.Exit at the Buy Price
Once it fills, list all 10,000 at 933 each. The 2% tax comes off when they sell.Bank the profit
At those prices the trade clears 100,000 coins, the Potential Profit on the panel.
