Your economic (or trade) rank is an indication of how much you have proved yourself in the economic area. There are 31 different ranks, ranging from Opportunist (the lowest) to X-TREME (the highest).
You can improve your economic rank simply by trading and making a profit (both in person and with your other ships and stations). Higher ranks get progressively harder to achieve, but allow access to better missions.
Note: If you leave the game idle for a long time it's possible your economic rank will actually decrease - see this FAQ article.
The game stores your rank internally as a number between 0 and 10 000 000. Each 'title' is defined as a subset of that range (e.g. Hawker is from 10 to 19). Note that the percentage shown on the pilot screen is an indication of your progress towards the next rank, not an overall percentage of your progress towards the highest rank.
