turtles overshooting their target and getting stuck in infinite movement loop - netlogo

Question

I am modeling tax evasion. My model has stationary traders (one breed of turtles) and customers (another breed).
The traders go towards the cheapest trader in their vicinity.
As long as my model has less than 10 traders, I have not experienced this problem. But as I ramp it up to over 20, one of the traders seem to, by chance, be at a set of coordinates that make every customer get stuck in an infinite movement loop where they move forward by 1, but overshoot the target, turn around, and overshoot again etc.
I can get less problems by decreasing forward movement to say 0.001 instead of 1, but the problem will still occur eventually.
Is there a quick fix to this problem? I can imagine a solution where an ifelse makes them jump directly into the traders coordinates when within range 1 or something, but is there an easier way?
I have tried implementing moving towards nearest trader given distance - as I suggested above, but now the customers get stuck in conga lines in groups in random locations without a trader
Here is the code regarding movement:
to find_food
ifelse ( num-traders-close < 2 )
[nearest_food]
[choose-cheapest]
end
to nearest_food
let nearest-food min-one-of (traders )[distance myself]
let cf-dist distance min-one-of traders [distance myself]
ifelse closest-trader > 1
[face nearest-food
fd 1]
[face nearest-food
fd cf-dist]
end
to choose-cheapest
let cheapest-food min-one-of traders [price]
let cf-dist distance min-one-of traders [distance myself]
ifelse closest-trader > 1
[face cheapest-food
fd 1]
[face cheapest-food
fd cf-dist ]
end

Answer 1

In the code in your other question , I have tried to follow your own code, but you can do this as well :
instead of finding one traders , you always check one-of close traders to that customer, and cheapest food and nearest food are customer property.
Breed [Customers Customer]
Breed [Traders trader]
Customers-own
[cheapest-food nearest-food traders-close]
traders-own [price]

set cheapest-food min-one-of traders-close [price]
end
to find_food
ifelse ( count traders-close < 2 )
[ifelse nearest-food != nobody
[Move-to nearest-food ]
[Move-to min-one-of Traders [Distance myself]]
]
[ ifelse cheapest-food != nobody
[Move-to cheapest-food]
[Move-to min-one-of Traders with [Distance myself < 5][price]]
]
end
