Old threads, and wikia says both trading normal commodities for a profit, and smuggled goods increase your Trade rank.
But I've done a huge amount of smuggling moving illegal commodity from one market to illegal black market along with regular commodity trading - and it doesn't seem to count my smuggling.
I say doesn't seem because not 100% sure,hence asking. But by inference, I really don't see my Trade % move when I only do smuggling on both end of my routes. When I add normal commodity or do both ends normal commodity, then I actually see my % increase a tick after dropping off loads sometimes (at Entrepeneur so kinda moves slowly, so hard to see direct tick every round trip)
So question is - given current 1.3+ meta of the game, what increases Trade rank?
1. Commodity sold for profit - this seems for sure
2. Smuggled goods sold at black market - not sure about this one
3. Cash from BB missions (cargo, kill, courier, etc) - I've read that these don't count, but since the amounts are so small relative to my commodity trades, don't really know if they do or don't do anything
