Default trading strategy for merchants.
The simple strategy buys a single product in the local market if there is one which can be traded profitably, trades it to the chosen target market, and sells it there. If there is no commodity locally which can be traded profitably, moves towards home with no cargo. If at home and no commodity can be traded profitably, does not move.
