The “Minimum Amount” is the lowest amount of cargo that the ship will consider the waypoint is valid

Hi Conbadicus - You're pretty much right what you said: I'll expalin a little better for the benefit of anyone else who might struggle with my old fashioned use of english
The minimum amount relates to that particular waypoint - Here's an example:
I set a waypoint to load/buy MINIMUM 10% and MAXIMUM 100% - let's say from an ecell station.
When the trader analyses the waypoint (s)he will only fly to the station and load up if there is at least a 10% cargo load of ecells available for sale at the station. Any less and the waypoint will be skipped. If the station has between 10% and 100% the trader will fly and load as much as the station has. If the station has over 100% then yes you will end up with a full cargo hold.
I then set a second waypoint to unload/sell at another station that needs ecells. I set the MINIMUM to say 5% and the maximum to 20%:
Now if that station needs at least 5% cargo hold load of the ecells then the trader will go and unload/sell - the maximum transfer will be 20% of the cargo hold IFF the station needs that much. If the station needs less than 5% then the waypoint will be skipped.
This means that you can push wares to several stations that need them having already loaded up at a single station:
Waypoint 1 - Load as much as possible at station 1
Waypoint 2 - Sell up to 20% of cargo at station 2
Waypoint 3 - Sell up to 20% of cargo at station 3
Waypoint 4 - Sell up to 20% of cargo at station 4
Waypoint 5 - Sell up to 20% of cargo at station 5
Waypoint 6 - Sell up to 20% of cargo at station 6
goto WP 1
etc. there are lots of ways you can do this - it's up to you.
tl;dr the MINIMUM setting is the lowest amount that a trader will fly a waypoint - any less and the waypoint is skipped. The MIN setting is available to prevent traders wasting time dealing in ridiculously small amounts of low value wares.
