How to find Traders and what’s best server ?

[Thomas Love 0]

Hey, 

I have been watching YouTube videos on DayZ since waaay before it was released on Xbox. I finally have it now and trying to get to grips with things. 
 

I’ve made a tiny base in one server nothing great but a start. However - how do I find traders, make money and so on? 
 

also what is the best server to play on? I very rarely come across anyone.
