It can generally be said that they are users who trade constantly to catch deals, and not for improving their team.

They are using the following things:
1) They can (currently) ask for any starting price for a player.
This is why you will see them fighting against limiting the max value a player can be purchased on. A value that needs to be limited and proportional to a player's skills-set.

2) There are always new users who will "make a mistake" and bid on any starting price.

3) There are always a bargains that can be purchased, as there is no semi-automatic auction system, they just need to wait for a slot of time where there are few users online and take an advantage of their spare time and purchase that type of player.
Using a Semi-automatic auction system where one can set a bidding (starting and max) would have eliminated that (you can read my suggestion regarding Auto-Auction suggestion to learn more about that), and that is why you will see those specific users fighting against it.

Of course this game is about BB-managing, and not an eBay-game or an Agent-game.
This is why this phenomenon needs to be E-L-I-M-I-N-A-T-E-D

Thanks.

The thing is if you like it or not it is a very easy way to make a lot of money and distasteful as it is if you can resell a player occasionally at a big profit why wouldn't you do it. What does happen though is that there are lots of players who seem to make this their main aim in the game, they are constantly buying players cheaply and selling them at crazy prices and they just need a sucker every so often to keep the party going. what is really annoying is they often swoop on 18 year old FA prospects because they have a low weekly wage cost and they can keep several for a few weeks and just selling one pays for the rest. The thing that annoys me about this is that they don't train them and it puts those future U21NT prospects a few weeks behind while the dirty day traders let them rot.

So why anybody don't buy them when they are cheap like daytraders do? :P

If they are U21 NT prospects so it's your scout's role to find people that will keep looking after your best young players. Simple.

So if there aren't enough people willing to train so what's the problem? If you want to train good player and you have appropriate amount of money I'm sure you will manage to buy one. Daytraders bought only the cheap one. They have the limit of price that can be called reasonable.

But did you read the part where I say I have nothing against this ?.

Yeah sure, I don't trying to convince you,
I just saying what I'm thinking and I agree about those groups of buyers ;)

I just don't get it why there are still people that wanna to change system of transfering? With those current limitations it's quite good for me.

If they are U21 NT prospects so it's your scout's role to find people that will keep looking after your best young players. Simple.

India is not Poland we do not have infinite resources. What we do attempt is to save about 50 or more prospects a season from teams going bot, basically any player $4k or more with star potential can become an U21 NT player if trained properly. There is no way we can find 50 people a year willing to train these mediocre talents. All we can do is release them onto the market and hope.

As I said I am not against day traders, I have done it myself many times, it is in the rules, but I wish the rules made it a lot less profitable (1 month minimum contracts, at least 80% tax on anyone besides draft picks who have been on your team less than a season) so that I would not be encouraged to do it to compete.

But the day traders who deal in U21NT prospects and don't train them really cause trouble for small nations with few good players.

Ok, I understand your point and you're right about the situation in smaller countries. I must to admit that I haven't thought about that.
But still I'm sure that if young player is good, there is small chance that he will be bought by daytrader because managers will gonna fight for him. There's a lot of them that want to have a NT player.
For me daytrading is a part of this game but I can imagine living without it so if there are people who suffer from DT, it should be limited much more than it's now. I will support that.
