Does my trader's level, affect how well it supplies my factory with goods?

This is when I give it the 'Buy ware for best price' command, or the 'Buy ware' command.

Levels of Traders are for CAG , CLS , ST/LT/UT

The level of these traders effects performance.

But if you just set a non CAG etc ., such as a TS or M3 to supply a specific station , or reassign trained traders to a different role,then when you check the ship info,it will just show your name as the pilot,without any trade rank.
So no, as no trade rank is set.

CAGs/CLSs can swap without losing trade rank

Likewise ST/LT/UT can interchange.

But the former two and the latter three cannot swap roles without having to retrain.

In other words a fully trained UT can't suddenly become a fully trained CAG , for example

Ok, I asked this question because my traders seem to get hardly any energy cells for my wheat farms, and that means that my wheat farms never have enough energy cells to make wheat with. Is there anyway I can change this without having to make them get energy cells manually?

or build a complex

CAG will start off supplying your assigned station with resources.
When trained enough,it will also be able to sell the product

Available via the Bonus pack for your game.
There is a different version of Bonus Pack ,depending on whether TC, AP, etc.

I have X3 Albion Prelude. I have a trader (He is a trader because I got trading software MK3, and made him become a sector trader at first.) who's home base is my wheat farm, and delivers energy cells to it, using the 'Buy ware for best price' command. He does not level up. To make him a CAG would I have to make him sector trade, in the same sector as his home base?
