Fleet Carrier - Commodity Trading - Stats show it's done trade, but no goods showing...???

On my Fleet Carrier, for the sheer hell of it I setup a buy order for precious metals, buying them at the minimum that I could set.
I wanted to see if there were any stupid NPCs out there willing to sell me goods for a next to nothing.
When I view my commodities trader is says she has handled 1600+ tonnes of trade items.
When I look at my commodities market graph is spikes a few weeks ago, indicating some form of trade has happened.
So the info provided to me suggests that trade has been done....but I see no items in the cargo hold, or items showing in the commodities list.
I personally have not traded anything.

Am I missing something here?

NPCs don't trade with your carrier.
Anything set up to sell?

Really? I didn't know that :D Stupid NPCs.
Nope. I have nowt to sell. I just wanted to buy Gold, Trit etc for 100 credits, giving me a 99.99% profit :D
The buy order count still shows as 1000 though for each of the 5 items I set to buy.

For reasons to long to go into, I was also looking at my market facility last night. I too noticed a spike showing some trade happening some time ago, I've never switched my market on.

It's on by default isn't it? Youu mean you had no buy/sell orders.

Smells like a bug to me.

Yes, I suppose that is the case. I have selected no purchase orders meaning it buys or sells nothing, yet, there it was, my 'trading' spike. I'll have another look later when I'm logged on, we can compare dates.

Just logged in and checked.
Active Imports: 5
Max Trading Profit: 167,357 credits

On the graph 7 or 8 weeks ago (the 1st segment) the line goes up very gradually, then looks like on one day during week 7 it shot up at about a 60 degree angle and then instantly went back down to 0.

Tritium trading from owner to carrier bank account?

At first I thought BINGO, you've got it...but...
1) I've never traded Trit, only deposited it into the fuel tank and transferred from my cargo hold. I've never used my commodity market apart from to setup buy orders to rip off NPCs.
2) The last time I did this was 2ish weeks ago, not 7 weeks ago.

What I will do later tonight is buy some more trit and see if it affects any numbers like commodities traded or total profit.

Top tip: When stuff happens that is of interest, don't wait 8 weeks before investigating :)

Since I don't use the commodities market it's not something I spotted until the other day...so I waited a few days before investigating ;)

Oh, and I do not have the black market module installed at all.
