If you bought your full buy limit on Iron ore right now, you'd clear roughly 13.0K GP after the 2% GE tax. That's the ceiling. The actual margin shifts every few minutes, especially after Wednesday updates and weekend supply spikes.

This needs refining. Tradeable on F2P accounts too. Buy limit 13,000 per 4 hours.

How Iron ore trades on the Grand Exchange

Ores are consumed by Smithing and by clue-scroll rewards. F2P ores in particular see steady active daily trade. A very high buy limit means one full cycle can move a lot of capital, so the margin per unit does not need to be large for the flip to be worth doing. It is F2P tradeable, so both F2P and members accounts can see and trade it. Over the last hour its margin has held fairly steady.
