Ok, as a bit of friendly advice? Lead with that next time. "Anyone know the game High Seas Trader" doesn't give us much to work with. That's a question whose answer more or less ends at 'yes' or 'no', and as this is a discussion board, you typically won't get a lot of responses with that.

"I'm looking for a game like High Seas Trader, but with better graphics, does anyone know of something like that", however, gives us a framework to immediately start making suggestions that may or may not scratch that itch.

For instance, after a glance at the wikipedia summary, it occurs to me that Rebel Galaxy may have a similar trading niche, albeit in a spacefaring setting. I don't know if the setting is a negotiable point for you, however, or if you wanted something a bit more grounded.

Isn't Elite Dangerous kind of a similar type of thing too? I've not played any of these, but I remember talk about you can just be a trader in ED.

iirc they made a new uncharted water not too long ago.

I don't know how modern your looking for but sid meier pirate is probably still the best known in the genre. Dunno if sea of thieves / king of sea have much of a trading element.

Just occurred to me that we may be in a "bots or person?" situation...

It's not terribly advanced from 1995 being released somewhere in the early 2000s, but I had a lot of fun with Tradewinds as a kid. It's not really deep and you can pretty much beat the game in an afternoon if you know what you are doing, but it's fun enough.
