I've read the posts and I know how it works. I saw how someone posted a seed where the trader was close to the start, so I tried that. The map did look like the one the person posted, but the trader was still no where to be found (in that vicinity).

I suspect that trader has changed to be a random placement after seed generation?

Mine was almost at the south pole A friend of mine used some software to check locations using my seed, and all he could say was "You got boned." It's very random. Besure to build a portal so you don't have to do it again !!!!!!!!
