Quantity traded is the quantity of goods sold. It's the quantity of goods paid for by the consumer and it ownership has been transferred to the consumer.

Quantity supplied, on the other hand, is the quantity of goods a producer is WILLING and able to offer for sale. Note that here, the goods have just been produced but are not sold yet. Therefore, the producer still retain the ownership of such goods until they are traded.

what is tradeable permits in eco........any other termmm....similar like this.....
Tradable permits are a cost-efficient, market-driven approach to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. A government must start by deciding how many tons of a particular gas may be emitted each year. It then divides this quantity up into a number of tradable emissions entitlements - measured, perhaps, in CO2-equivalent tons - and allocates them to individual firms. This gives each firm a quota of greenhouse gases that it can emit over a specified interval of time. Then the market takes over. Those polluters that can reduce their emissions relatively cheaply may find it profitable to do so and to sell their emissions permits to other firms. Those that find it expensive to cut emissions may find it attractive to buy extra permits. Trading would continue until all profitable trading opportunities had been exhausted.
