If i was to get raided and police take my laptop would they be able to see everything ive done on SR i.e if i was a seller would they see all the sales i made or if i was a buyer would they see everything ive bought?

Only if they could log in to your account, because you keep your log in details in a text file on the hard drive, for example.
Tor Browser doesn't save stuff in a cache on disk, if that's what you're asking.

Your login details will be on your hard drive if you personally saved them there. Tor Browser doesn't save your login details to disk. The "Remember passwords for sites" option is even disabled in Preferences -> Security.

Your biggest danger is getting busted while logged in, they won't need your password then.
Set your laptop up so it switches itself off after xx minutes of inactivity, and set a password to start it again. Don't have it set to hibernate or sleep.

Cheers Pete my laptop turns its self off and i never leave logged into the road. My laptop dont remember my screen name i have to put it in with my password each time i log in. Does that mean its not on my hard drive????

Think about what you're asking here. Unless you get busted smoking a joint sitting on a bench in front of the police station while surfing SR, why would LE even know you own a computer? Unless you're a big time dealer, you're not getting raided.

are you implying that you stored your pass/login on a text file and then deleted the txt file?
and now you're worried if that txt file containing login/pass could be traced after deletion
