AI immediately cancels trade deals

[MagicBacon]

In my current game as Germany (1938) every time I make a deal for rare materials, the AI cancels the deal within a week. It doesn't matter how much the deal is for, or what the percentage acceptance chance was. This doesn't actually hinder my resource accumulation, as there is nothing stopping me from making new short-term deals, but it is annoying and time-consuming. If they don't want to trade with me, they should just refuse my offers!

Is there any way to avoid or curb this behavior?

Yes. Use the auto-trader after you set your trade priorities.

I've turned the auto-trader on for a month, but it refuses to make a single trade!

The auto-trader is one of best working elements of DH. So be sure to set it properly, it will work for sure.

yeah it works well but it is now impossible to make trades manually.

I set the AI to initiate trades, told it to stockpile raw materials and to trade supplies and money for them. I set the acceptance level to zero. It won't trade anything, even though I have over 10k supplies with a daily surplus of +40. What am I doing wrong?

Maybe there are no rares available in the world (or at least in countries that can trade with you).
For best results you should have the auto-trader enabled from day 1 as most of the trade deals are made in the first game week and majority of those are rarely canceled later.

Ugh. I suppose I'll just cheat for the resources, then.
