When I press "T" over a trade region it opens a window where I can either buy or sell goods. In some cases I can buy (for example buy more fish) and in some other cases it's a "sell" order. But this is precisely my question: if it says for example "buy more fish" can I change it into "sell more fish" ? (hope I'm clear enough ..) ;-)

Depends where are you clicking ... if on your resources, then it is sell ... if on resources from neighbours, then it is buy

Good trick is check which resources are most demanded and if you have it or have possibility buy it, then buy it and sell to others ... good injection to your state finance

Ohohohh ! I didn't notice the small flag :-)
Now it's clear !

How (and where) do you check which goods are the most demanded ?

Use the B screen, look at each good and it will tell you how much is offered for sale and how is potentially in demand (hovver over each image). At the top RHS is another incredibly useful tooltip that will tell what you need more of (this is different to F4 which more or less tells you if your stocks are static) and what you have too much of. If the latter matches the information on goods in demand - then you have near guarenteed sales. If it doesn't, you may want to think of shutting down some production

Thanks :-) very useful information !

Another question : when I click on T to open the trade window, there is a series of flags on a line. What do they mean ? all countries having access to this trade center ?

And below that, in the main trade window, sometime there is a flag I can't identify. How can I identify which country is that (apart from knowing all national flags worldwide by heart?

to the first question - yes you are right. Not sure about the second though.

I assume when you say lower, you mean the country flag with the picture of the good.

Each seller of goods is identified by flags in the lower part of the trade window. The upper parts lists some (not necessarily all) of the countries that can access that trade area. You need to look at the nations that are in the trade area (with the B key, the regions of each trade area are overlaid with a different color).
There is another possibility, if another country invests in a region, then they can sell from that trade area, even if it is not attached to their homeland (For example, assume the USA builds a rubber plantation in Brazil, then the USA could sell their production from the Brazilian trade area, or they could ship it back home to sell or use).
Most likely, it is a small country in the trade area is selling something (like Montenegro for example, or the South African Boer Countries).
