Is there a way to see how close you are to obtaining 20% trade share in a product, that is, How close to obtaining the "Trading in ..." modifier?
There's a ledger page - I forget exactly which one it is - that shows a list of all the trade goods with your current market share and who the production leader is.

That's what I thought, but I don't see any ledger that tells me what I already know from looking at my modifiers. I want to know how close I am to gaining 20% share.

EDIT ... Found it. Strategic goods and then it's in the tool tip of the country shield. Thanks!

See who the production leader is. Sometimes sending a fleet of light ships to their trade node is just enough to give you the bonus.

If I have an admin-advisor pool of 3 advisors like its standard, and lets say I hired the lvl 1 advisor with +10% taxes -
now I FIRE one of the other advisors in the pool, lets say they are a lvl 2 and a lvl 3 guy, I fire the lvl 2 guy -
next month there will arrive a new advisor in the pool to replace the fired one -
is the chance of the new advisor being a lvl2 tax-guy the same chance as if I would not already have the lvl 1 tax-guy hired?

Or more simple asked:
Does hiring an advisor reduce the chance of getting another lvl advisor of the same type into ones advisor-pool?

The following is my understanding of how the system is set up but I don't fire them very often so haven't extensively tested it:

The type is supposed to be entirely random among the options other than the one you just fired. The level is restricted in that you will never get a +3 unless your income is over 10/month and you'll always get a level 1 if you don't already have one (hired or in your available pool).

Probably the most stupid question here in a while but Ages are part of patch 1.20, not Mandate dlc, right? Because right now (without dlc) I see them on the top of my screen but can't open the tab.

Ages (as a concept) are part of 1.20 but the splendour mechanic that is accessible via the window which open when you click on the banner is DLC. I think that, currently, the only thing that the ages mechanic does without the DLC is affect when certain things, such as Absolutism and Crusades trigger or are available.

Did you intend to say that I cant get the one that I fired again? Because thats not the case. I get EXACTLY the one I fired ALL THE TIME!! Thats so dumb that Paradox really should change it!

Just to be clear, when you say that you fired the advisor are you talking about dismissing them from the pool of available advisors or simply dismissing them from your court?

(when i said "I fire one of the advisors in the pool")
I meant dismissing from the pool.

I think thats because the one you get is the roll from the other advisor you've fired given your scenario

I didnt understand.

I don't think we know enough about how it works to give you a clear answer. And confirmation bias means we are all convinced that the game never gives us the advisor we want!

I also can formulate another, easier to answer question:

Did anybody ever have the case, where you had at the same time the same type of advisor, with different lvls in your pool? (e.g. lvl1 tax guy AND lvl2 tax guy at the same time)

This happens routinely due to spawning events, but I have not seen it happen without them.

However, it has to be possible by normal spawning, at least in extreme circumstances -- if you wanted, you can easily get modifiers for +5 advisors (very easy diff, reformed, HRE, curia[2], innov ideas, admin ideas = +7) and there are only 7 advisor types in each class (in diplomatic, only five that are not gated by colonialism).

As for your original question, I'd just test it. Start a game as a rich country. Cheat extra money, hire a level 2, and start dismiss/spawning advisors as fast as you can
