I did not claim that a landtrader only takes 5 minutes a day to play. Locket and Son Goku were the ones that claimed that.
It's really more like 20 minutes, since you spend about 10 minutes deciding who to trade with (and checking to see you aren't stealing retals, or RoRing), 5 minutes to do the actual grab (getting ops, jets, oil), and then another 5 minutes to build and logout.
A land trading farmer doesn't really need to care about food peaks, it stocks its own food, and sells to PM at the end, so it doesn't really need to monitor market trends nor track other countries, nor camp DRs to bottomfeed. MBRs are out of the question for a landtrader, so the only real calculations are really just calculating when to stop trading and start stocking, and when to stop stocking and jump.
It takes more time (and skill) to landtrade than to all-explore obviously, so I'm ok that landtraders have a better finish in general compared to all-explorers.
