NEVER give out information concerning your trade routes in a public forum. You've effectively just given every hunter here a list of ports to check when you're online.

The ports I've been trading through have been constantly occuppied by Scouts and Mines. The players I need to worry about already know where I trade. The advantage I got is being in a different timezone, so most of the time they aren't even around when I trade, and if they are then I just save my turns instead 
I haven't said what I'm trading or between what ports, if someone else manages to figure it out then so be it! This game ends soon anyhow, and I'm still learning so, until I know what I'm doing I'm totally prepared, and expect, to be killed from time to time. It'll just make it all the more fun when I'm getting payback
