Question for the super trader experts(imp difficulty)

[Aimstrong]

Noobish trader here...
Without looking at products to be sold if one has 50cargo space to sell from placeA to placeB is it better to sell 25 productX/25 productY or 50 productX in order to maximize long term ROI(I'm not looking for the quickest buck fire-and-forget style e.g I will visit this world again in 1-3 years for another quick buck )? assuming a galaxy/map richness/econ map is average.

Big importance in my opinion the econ rating of the placeB. High econ worlds will absorb goods better... and maybe with slighter better price changes(so possibility to make more runs with same products) => 50 is the way to go

Low econ placeB is more 25/25 in my opinion but I can be wrong...feel free to correct me.

This game favors more quickest buck/fire and forget style of trading or not?My opinion is :Yes it does favor F&F.
What is the recommended Average time to wait till you can do business again from planetA->planetB with same products X and Y?

Aimstrong - that's dependent on so many factors -- Economy, Population, planet size, Faction, economy type ... not sure I can give a simple average. I think a 1-3 year rotation is pretty solid. The other thing you should be sure to do is use more of the resource types between two world. Most match economies like Mining -> Industrial have multiple resources you can trade between the two for profits.

Stashing your cargo in a wilderness zone is a superb idea. Right now they cannot be swiped from you.

Best to focus on max loads of higher quality goods. Mint Dragon shows quite a bit of some good trading choices in his second season on YouTube.

He has also shown off killer sales. If you can get L3 or L4 TP fast with any/every faction...then good exchanges and occasional Black Market (along with L8+ Merchant and Smuggler Talents) trades can bring in serious money.
Edit: This also matters based on map. With map seeds, great trade routes can be discovered and shared.
Good luck out there.
