Solo play is not hell. You're looking for excuses.
What you want is the advantages of trade without the drawbacks. That doesn't exist.
Now it's streamers/bots/party players, after that it will be "he's playing more than me", and after that "he's playing a meta build".
Set your expectations according to your playtime/knowledge/effort.
Your issue is in your head, so is the solution.

ONLY way to make this work is literally disable party system entirely, so noone can enter any area in party to get party bonus loot.
Are you ready to do trials on your own and not pay someone for carry?
Are you ready to do campaign bosses on your own and no ask in chat help?
Are you ready to do pinnacle bosses on your own after you realized you have no damage and you can't call for help?
Are you ready to never ever play with friend(s)?
At this point, just play ssf. Because GGG will not add another separate economy that is basically ssf with trade.
And even then you will complain because experienced players makes a lot more currency solo than average player.

OP literally ask for mode where only SOLO players can trade. Players that are in PARTY are NOT SOLO, do you understand?

Right now, being a solo player is hell. Party Aurabots, streamer sponsored 0day exploits and so on makes for a wrecked economy for solo players.
To fix this, GGG could create a "Solo Trade" game mode, kinda like "Solo Self Found", except the player would be able to trade only with other solo players.
That would let us, solo players, have a saner economy that isn't wrecked by aurabots, and probably won't have as many exploits being actively used.
A solo player could still abuse 0day exploits in this hypothetical league. What's stopping a 20 man team of "solo" farmers all abusing the latest mechanic and pooling their resources to dominate the market? Waht's stopping RMT players from buying up valuable gear and raising the prices on things?
Even IF (very big if) all of that happens, the point is: it will happen a LOT less than on the party play enabled server.

You just described how every single solo player plays. It's how I played PoE2 since day 1. I don't even know how to join / disband etc a party, because I never used and never will use that feature.
As for a separate economy, it already exists on Hardcore, and the infrastructure also exists due to private leagues. It's something that costs close to 0 to implement.

Okay well I guess you've solved it then! Congrats on your groundbreaking next level idea I'm sure they will implement this feature right away

The thing they should really made is:
they should increase drop rate at SSF league and allow targeted farm (just like in Last Epoch)
I have been saying for ages for SSF to have a buffed droprate. I agree completely. It would solve a lot of my problems with the game if it was buffed enough.
