 I can't tell if you do or do not want ProfitCalculator and Persistence to
track changes made in MarketModel.

If you do, and both should be in lock-step with it (unlike your situation
with Tax), then you don't have a problem.

If not, then the problem is Trader would depend on ProfitCalculator which
might depend on a different version of MarketModel than Persistence (upon
which Trader also depends). That is a classic dependency problem and not a
function of submodules or add-sourcing, per se. The Trader module seems to
be at the top of this heap - why would you want the Trader to (indirectly)
use one version of MarketModel through ProfitCalculator, and another
through Persistence?
