Privateering has its uses if you're a small country, your home node is poor and there's a much better one nearby. Case in point: When I was plaing as a Japanese Daimyo, for some time it was more profitable to privateer in Beijing than to protect in Nippon.

This is an example of good design, as in real life the Japanese wokou pirates found it much more lucrative to rob ships and coasts of Korea and China as opposed to normal trade in Japan. There are simply much more goods produced in China and Korea in this time period to steal!

My Mongol pirates ravaged the English Channel, Venice , and Genoa. I didn’t focus on protecting trade because as Mongolia u don’t have enough merchants to actually transfer trade to Yumen and Russian nodes the best way was to collect in Beijing and just transfer to Beijing in nodes where I already had 100%

The ottomans has over 130 ducats inn their trade node and I wanted to kneecap them, so I built 130 light ships and started privateering the Constantinople node, my pirates owned 70% of the trade node and the ottomans never stood up to me again
Found one more thing, a minor but sometimes it can help: if you put an admiral commanding trade protecting fleet, for every Manouver pip, it ads ca. 5 % to fleets trade power bonus.

Well you don't need to know every detail of how ever calculation is made behind the scenes to become good at managing/manipulating trade in-game. It's nice to know, but not 100% necessary. As long as you understand how to collect and steer trade and raise your trade power/efficiency your good to go.

Your guides are the best. Breaking down problems to easily solvable chunks, omitting modifiers and using clever examples. I love it.
You deserve way more subs for these well made vids!
Amazing video!!! Thanks for your effort and the systematic way in which you present topics like these!
Clear, concise, informative and very well presented. This must be the best trade guide I've seen so far for EUIV. You just got one more subscriber.
One of the most helpful guides for EUIV! Thank you!
This was a wonderful video. Thank you for the very clear, concise, and accurate information!
While i knew almost all of what you described, i could not imagine such a simple and informative way to teach about trade. It's really an awesome video and would recommend it for anyone that wants to learn about it.
Great explanation, calming voice, to the point. Amazing guide.
2019, thank you man for helping us out. Your video is simply brilliant!
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!! Thank you, you magnificent man

I can't even begin too explain how much this helped me, thank you so much
This is by far the best guide I've seen about trading. Thanks a lot.
I'm a CK2 transfer to EUIV and I've been watching different videos from different creators to try and understand the game. This is exactly what I've been looking for. You taking the time to make a custom map with 4 custom nations to explain the trade makes an enormous difference. Thanks for the help, dog.
Thank you for taking the time to create this video! Just superb! Oh, and yes, I subbed. :)
Absolutely fantastic. So many mysteries solved! Thank you!
I've been playing this game for 4 years now and I've only just figured out how trade works thanks to this video! Subbed.
Really well made, congrats! Helped me a lot!
So much work in this video,nice job dude.
Trade is always a big part of paradox games, so good to have a guide like this cover how it all works.
"Aaand that is the trade system in EU4." *10mins left of video*
This is great man! Trading really seemed to click for me after watching this and made the game more fun! Would love to see more in depth guides on some of the other game concepts :)
great thanks - that was a really deep helpful guide !
Love this summary!
Great video, so helpful!! Thank you so much!! Now that you broke it down, I can understand so much more easily! Subbed! 😍
Collect @ home node, transfer to home node, if possible change your home node to a more trafficked province, stack your transfers along routes to increase value, only embargo rivals, light ships are the best modifiers for trade power either through protection (of routes you trade on) or privateering (in routes you do not trade on), use production modifiers (buildings) in provinces prioritized by goods value, and don't worry about the math, most of the indicators are visually significant in the Trade Map. There ya go.

An excellent video. Have invested hundrends of hours in this game, still explained a few mecchanics I never was capable to understand. Thank you. Keep on making videos.
Thanks Reman for the guide! Very helpful!
Very clear, complete and informative! You have my thanks and thumbs up! :-)
I do have to say, your tutorials are really good and understandable
Finally! A trade video worth watching. Great stuff, very clear explanatikn.
Beautiful presentation!
Great vid. Very clear.

Even with 631 hours in EUIV I was still clueless when it came to trade. This video has enlightened me, and makes me want to do a trade-centric campaign next. Thank you for making it!
As a long time player, I found this still very usefull, thanks for your great explanations
Thank you for this guide on as you call it, chrade.
Brilliant video, I've never been able to quite wrap my head around trade in EU4. I think I mostly get it now.
Best video regarding trade in EU4 I've seen today. This is the tenth video I've watched today, btw.
Thanks for the vid. Perfectly done!
very nice video, learned quite a lot from it :) thanks
very nice content! can wait for more

A superb explanation
Damn, you should be a teacher, finally someone who explained me this. I couldn't understand this for such a long time, thanks.
This is by far the best trade tutorial out there.
Man thats the best trade giude i found in KZread...!! THX MAN!!
I found a super helpful tooltip in the trade node menu. Most of you know this, but this can help new players a lot. You don't need to look at the arrows to decide where to expand or colonize. Go to your home node. Hover over "incoming" this will show you all the nodes immediately upstream (1 node up) of your home node, or any node for that matter. The top left tabs will also show this information too. Sevilla: -Safi -Tunis -Carribean -Ivory Coast This will help narrow down your focus for colonizing and expanding, if your goal is to trade effectively.

I have to sit down and catch my breath after watching this incredible video. If everyone making a KZread tutorial would ape this one we learners would be in heaven. Low and unobtrusive BG audio is a must and Reman doesn't waste a single word. Graphics appear as needed and make excellent screengrabs. All of his videos are like this. I'm awed.
Reman thank for you patience to understand and share the mechanics. Paradox was always very bad at explaining this.
Great guide, thank you!
Great tutorial, i've learned a lot.
I'm a complete noob. I've watched more than an hour of different Trade videos, and am overwhelmed and confused. Then I found yours. Now I think I understand -- thank you!!!
