Favored Trades is the Monkey Buccaneer's path 3 tier 4 upgrade in Bloons TD 6. It reduces the attack cooldown of the Monkey Buccaneer's attacks, increases the amount of cash generated from $200 to $500 per round ($520 with 
Trade Agreements), and provides a buff to itself and towers within its range which increases their sell value by 4% stacking up to 3 times for a maximum of 12% (capped at maximum of 95% of their cost). If buffed by Trade Empire, it gains +$20 cash production per Favored Trades (stacking up to 20 times in total), +1 damage, +1 Ceramic damage, and +1 MOAB damage to all attacks. Favored Trades are prioritized by Trade Empire's buffs before any Merchantmen, which have weaker cash production.
Darts have a cooldown of 0.5 seconds. If given Grape Shot, the attack cooldown for the grapes are reduced from 1.3s to 0.75s. Hot Shot's burn damage is improved from 2 to 4.

This article or section is outdated and needs to be updated to reflect recent updates or newly available information. You can help out by editing this article. The editor who added this notice elaborates: Add details on sellback efficiency with multiple favored trades. Also include the favored trades table involving buying the favored + cash spent + cash savings |
As a source of income, Favored Trades is less cost-efficient than Merchantman, so it is only recommended as an upgrade after 20 Merchantmen have been bought with a Trade Empire. However, the extra sellback from Favored Trades makes it stand out. Against Boss Bloons, using Favored Trades to sell income-generating towers immediately before a Boss appears is strongly recommended, as doing so grants more cash against the Boss and for future farming. The extra sellback is also beneficial when selling and rebuying towers, such as MOAB Eliminator for instant ability resets for Boss instakills. It also has uses in some Least Tier events requiring the money to afford a Goliath Doomship when not using normal Farms.
Multiple Favored Trades to stack bonus sellback are more efficient only on towers that have very high sell value. Every additional Favored Trades for bonus sellback becomes less valuable for profit.
While Favored Trades doubles the attack speed and increases Hot Shot DoT, it's not efficient damage. Not crosspathing Favored Trades is recommended in most cases for maximizing income. When damage is needed, Hot Shots is the far superior crosspath due to the higher pierce grapes and increased DoT being far superior to the benefits of Double Shot.

Bottom crosspath feels behind compared to others here, so in addition to the new Camo Prioritization filter Longer Range on this path will now also grant bonus pierce. Favored Trades stacking was never intended to be a feature but we previously updated the description to support the stacking instead of changing functionality, so this has now been corrected.

General improvements made to higher tier DoT applications for Buccaneer. The pierce from bottom crosspath seems to be better after destroyer currently, so this also acts as some crosspath balancing for Flagship.

Resolved an issue with the order of operations which gave inconsistent cash values when buffed
“
Buccaneer’s Merchantmen path will now gain a damage bonus based on how much spare cash you have on-hand. This introduces a fun trade-off where you can choose to hold onto cash for a combat boost at the cost of losing advantage from immediately snowballing into more economy. It’s kinda neat
