Remembering trading prices

Alien can you elaborate, I had difficulty to start with, had to use one of the 'cheat-sheets'
If supply is high, prices will be low. If demand is low, prices will be low. If supply is low, prices will be high. If demand is high, prices will be high.
Look at the global average price, too. It is easy to ensure you buy low and sell high. Optimising it requires data about prices where you are going.
And prices are already fluctuating.
Are they? They didn't mention anything about the background simulation being enabled yet.
With only 5 systems to trade into and quite a few players doing the trading (not counting the silly hackers 
who are trying to be nice by dumping canisters, but don't realize they are ruining the game for everybody else who is trying to make a honest living) the gain from trade runs is dropping fast.

The way the saves should work is that the game continuously saves your progress (or lack of it) so if you blow up, the game puts you back in (either you pay to get your ship back or you get a free default sidewinder), you might lose your cargo.
How the game should NOT work is that you are able to reload to a previous point you have saved. In Multiplayer, you make an action and that action is communicated to everyone else, whether that's buying or selling or killing someone or getting blown up. Because it gets communicated to everyone else, you can't simply reload. Multiplayer doesn't work like that.
Maybe someone else can explain it better than me.
Its supposed to be tested in alpha, the idea is to find things like this so they can be worked against for the actual game release if they are a problem. What they're doing is helping to identify any issue - not to play it as a game for funWith only 5 systems to trade into and quite a few players doing the trading (not counting the silly hackers
Is there no way to see how much you paid for your cargo in-game?
If you "die" then you are transported back to the station in a escape pod and (if you have the cash) you can pay your insurance excess to get your previous ship and equipment back. Or if not have a new Sidewinder with the default equipment.
If you are playing Ironman then you have to manually eject, or dying will give you the option to revert to normal mode.
If you mess up and fail a trade run or get pirated then you are out of luck.

What I seem to have seen on a number of YouTube clips is commanders starting from a previous position - which is why I was asking regarding 'save' positions.
I take it what was happening was that they were starting the game afresh / from scratch then?
I agree with you though, that commanders shouldn't be able to restart from a 'save' position.
Thanks
So what would happen if you're out in the field, getting your ass whooped, and you realise you are doomed, what happens if you rage quit?
I'll assume you just vanish from the game from the player doing the shooting's point of view, but what about you?
I suppose the only thing that would stay with you is any damage sustained and any cargo you might have held onto during the fight.
When you reload back in after a period of time do you just appear at the nearest station? Do you just appear in space where you left?
