I have wondered this for a while. Is there any way that you can order your merchants to automatically keep merchants of all other nations out of CoTs you have a monopoly in, or do you have to send them manually?

You mean like the auto-send merchant option in the ledger (page 24)? If you mean stop other countries from competing with you in CoTs then there is no way other from either embargoing them or having a trade agreement with them while you have the monopoly (they'll never accept though).

The third setting of auto-send tries to keep you in a monopoly. On the other hand, it won't maintain an absolute monopoly. Unfortunately, you have to do that.
