I'm not sure what you mean by "chapter". But regarding the traders, in the trader ship's command console, have you done all of the following?
  1. Configured your traders to use autojump
  2. Set the minimum sector distance low enough (to say 0 or 1)
  3. Given them energy cells to jump with
  4. Set them to resupply energy cells
That will allow them to jump whenever it will benefit them automatically.
These days I mainly just talk to plants and dogs,
all human contact seems painful, risky, odd,
so I stay acting god in my own X-Universe!

I think by chapter he means the game version. :)
X fanatic. More of an X3 fanatic.
What about X4? Nah, I prefer a space simulator rather than a walking simulator.

do you actually have enough notoriety to use the jump beacons?

I periodically see some of my traders, for whatever reason, decide not to jump like the OP posted. Aside from common logistics settings like autojump off/energy cell shortage, this happens usually with my station manager, and sometimes after I make a change to my complex, or a change in reputation that one of my traders is in to hostile. Almost always gets resolved with stopping/restarting station manager on my complex/station, but it happens so rarely I hardly ever notice. I can't even purposely reproduce it.

I think what he was asking is if the jump beacon is friendly or hostile to you.

Can you maybe post a screenshot of the sector in question?

I have been using jump beacons in Terran space for quite some time
this is not my first time working with the terrans so I dont think I would be in Terran space with a notoriety rank that would not even allow me in-to Neptune
