We all know that the anti-daytrading measures were ill conceived. They do not affect only daytrading, but also general trading for people who never seek to make any quick profit.
Back in the day myself and others suggested that the tax should be on profits, not on the sale value and perhaps a mechanism where the previous trainers get a share of the sale profit should have been introduced as well.
Profit tax = people looking to rebuild while selling at a loss should not be punished further
Share of profit: trainer gets a player from 3k to 150k salary deserves a little bit of future transfer profits (this DIRECTLY incentivises training and makes it more profitable)
Apart from these 2 things there is a fundamental problem with the system as designed. For daytraders it's better to fire players than to re-sell them without making a profit because if you fire the player it will not count in the calculation that increases your sale tax.
This manager
(197874) likes to daytrade. He typically buys high potential players on the cheap and tries to re-sell them at 10 times the price. When he doesn't sell the player he fires him, see for example
(41119088). Aside from the fact that Nickleon and the other GMs should do their job to prevent misleading advertising of players on forums, this kind of practice depletes the amount of trainable players and should be stopped.
If there is no appetite to change the sale tax and make it more logical as mentioned above, then
please force managers to start auctions on 18yo-19yo players at 1k. This measure alone would have wiped out most of the daytrading (at least it would have wiped out those trying to scam new managers on draftees and trainees)
