After finding a market, like Fox says, know when to post. Posting times can be key to controlling the market and forcing other players out.

When testing a market, don't get in too deep too soon. Sometimes major players take a few days break due to RL and can come back with a vengeance when they find an usurper in their midst.

Even if you are a major player in a given market, getting in too deep can land you in the hole fast. If there is a good deal on a given item grab it. But if you already have a stockpile that is more than a week or so of sales, you might want to take a pass depending on how much of a deal it really is.

Lastly, know when to bow out. Trying to control a volatile market where everyone is a shark is just asking for trouble usually. Look for a different spot where the players are fewer. You might not make quite as much gold as fast, but it might be worth not taking the huge risk of fighting the sharks.
