Market Profile
Signal Summary
Carrier markets are player-managed. Their prices, stock, demand, docking access, and location can change quickly, making verification more important than with stable station infrastructure.

Key Concepts
Owner control - Carrier owners set stock, buy orders, sell orders, and tariffs.
Mobility - A carrier can move away from a route, turning stale data into a trap.
Access - Docking permissions can restrict who can use the market.
Field Notes
Always check carrier age and access before committing a long haul.
Carrier trades can be excellent, but they age faster than station trades.
