my boost run ive been doing for a week has just disapeared completely. Very unrealistic i know the market is supposed to be dynamic but how does a system suddenly stop producing a metal with no reduction first. So random and i feel like they just cap and nerf any remotely good run. Annoyed!
Has the trading update improved it?

The trade route data won't have updated yet, that takes a couple of days to refresh.

THIS! magicaces; (Every) MMO, MMORPG, has balancing questions; not only by the players but by disparity in agreement between the devs themselves. The 'balancing' regarding trading is (becoming) optimal. When approximately 2/3rd's of the player base is happy with it and the other third is not; the trade balancing will be correct...
Wait until you find a bulletin board mission of asking for - example - Food cartridges, and the very same station is selling it at a discount price, because there is very low demand of it.
You basically go back to the commodities menu, by the amount they want and click the mission accept, then click "give cargo'. Mission completed, in less than 1 minute.
IMHO (not sure yet) there are much bigger issues rooted in the Trading "logic" than a few too many or too few NPC traders.
It's as if an economist has created this model - with expected results
Still, it's bizarre to see >200000 Ls Stations having no high demand and often no High Supply, they're just sitting there and apparently being serviced like any other Station 100Ls from its next trade partner.
No sane NPC Trader would pick something like that for a trade route, as time is money and such Stations are at a hughe disadvantage.
Still, I think the NPC trading doesn't take any of these basic factors into account at all.
I'd bet the famous Harrison (0.22LY) Station is getting just as included and serviced into normal NPC Trades as any other System. Such a Station would have to pay horrendous premiums to attract any trades. We'd be talking ludicrous demand levels.
Good observation, would be nice if the remote places were affected more by lower trade.
The patch notes clearly state that the fix will take a couple of days to propagate. The FD rep just confirmed that. Some of y'all might benefit from actually READING the notes before jumping on here to complain... that said, keep up the good work FD, really looking forward to seeing the market in action once properly balanced!
Cheers for the info Michael
A station I'm docked at had all low / medium demand last night.
I logged in this morning and every demand commodity is high.
Yes, the trading updates have worked. Get out there in non-populated stations and start making some credits!

Welcome back high demand yeah baby
Seems to of worked, now trading between high/high supply/demand stations, 2700 cr/t bi directional profit routes. Me likey!
Me too. I'm seeing High demand again, and systems import/export according to their type. Profits are, well, great TBH.
I'm in relatively low populated space, so maybe that is why it recovered so fast and so significantly this afternoon. I'm guessing systems more traveled by CMDRs will take longer to adjust.
