I apologize if this has been reported, but I can't group load from market. I can group sell from a fleet no problem, but I can't buy say 120 for 2x60 hawkers and then click load all in this port. If I do, I get an error, "You don't own all the ships in this port."
It would save me dozens of clicks a day if this feature worked as advertised:)

It has been mentioned before. Manual load/unload is not something we want to encourage though. This is why we got trade routes. Instead of creating a mass load button we would prefer to create an even more sophisticated automatic trade route option (such as "Always keep x amount of y resource at this port).
This is the reason this has never been implemented so far as it always loses its priority to something that benefits auto trade routes.
And for a good reason as manual load/unload is nowadays even obsolete for newcomers.
Of course, at the end of the way it would be good to have this as well. It just has a very low priority. Now that it has been mentioned again, its priority improved.

As market prices fluxuate, I like to run my battle fleet as a kind of roaming trading fleet, checking in on prices. Meanwhile I'm doing some plundering, so I'd have to pause a trade route anyway, and like I said I'm going on mulitple port runs.
Plus, why have a radio button if you can't use it:)
