Trade Rank Progression

I'm trying to figure out the numbers.

Last week I was around 60% of the way from entrepreneur to tycoon and I noticed that for each million credits I made I notched up an extra percent (more or less). This seemed to hold good for a while.
I'm less certain about the next bit: I also ran some very profitable trade missions - to both orbitals and planetside - and felt that these were contributing to the same trend, up to a point. As a good trader would, when running the missions I also filled up with whatever cargo was profitable on the mission route. However, I was unsure whether the mission load and my trade load were contributing equally, unequally or - in the case of the mission load - not at all. Can anyone confirm that one way or another? Might there be any other factors in play (distance, speed, whatever)?

At around 67 percent this trend went AWOL: I've made a further 20m credits since for just 6% gain towards ranking up.

Any thoughts, observations - or indeed hard facts on the relationship between these things?

Cheers

Thanks, so trade (bulk hauling) missions contribute directly to your trading profit and hence these figures?
