Day trading is a tough thing to do in BB. Mostly because of the high 20 or 21 % fee you have to pay if you sell the player immediately. Plus, BB's new rules made it impossible for players to be sold until you pay at least 1 week of salary.

Let's say you buy a player who costs $100k and his salary is $10k a week. You have to sell him for $135k just to break even. If you want to make a good profit, you have to sell him for much more. And that is not easy in the ever declining transfer market. You need to be very lucky.

On the bidding part, I think 3 minutes before the deadline is the best time to bid. Bidding 10 second before the end will add 3 more minutes on the clock, meaning more time for other managers to spot this player.

It's not hard to do on a "farm" team...

A "farm" usually has one 300k salary beast surrounded by 5k salary players. Pretty sure they can save millions over several season of "farming".

When the time is right, they can reach into those millions to buy a NT from an opposing NT country and fire that NT player.

Do you know that firing NT players will immediately place them in TL for cheap? :P

That I did not know, when did this happen?

I thought that only applies if the team goes bot, then the NT player will become a free agent.
But if the NT player was fired, then he will be retired.

There were issues pertaining to this before, and all you have to do is make a ticket for it. The fired players were, yes, retired, but after reporting it they can go back to the TL. But the protection is only valid for NT players when they were fired. That means 18 players only at a time.

It is tough to begin with, but once you get to used to it it isn't tough it's just time consuming.

It is worth doing, though. I've seen managers buy for peanuts and sell for diamonds. I'm talking figures of buying for 400k and selling for 700k+. I've seen some cases where managers can double and a half the price and still sell. A 400k buy and a 700k sell for a 30k guard is a 123k profit in what might take a week. A couple of those per week over a season.... It adds up nicely.

I am really glad, however, about the changes implemented to reduce Day Trading, but there surely can be more. Hopefully what I'm doing will help.

but it is not that easy, the fees go higher the fans doesn't attend that much for the games anymore and player who doesn't get sold at the first try ask for additional salary and without weekly minutes his gs decline which makes it harder to sell.

I believe the most proftiional way to trade, are in the small regions where you buy for <10k and can sell up to 50k since there the salarys are "relativ" low, and the fees don't matter that much since you multipli the investment. But i think it isn't that easy.

and normally they got demoted quite fast, so that they didn't stock up money and loose it and the fewest team have the luxury to start it in div 1.

As I said, it isn't easy to begin with. It's like normal trading, which I've been learning about for about 5 months now. When I first started, I was like, wtf???? This seems so difficult! However, now that I'm 5 months in, I know the programs, I know the markets, the meta-language, and my guesses at trades are becoming more and more educated. I won't trade real money for a little while yet, but I could have made profit in the last two months if I were to.

Same goes here. If people look long enough and understand enough, it becomes an easy thing to do, just tedious. Finding the deals can be truly tedious. This is for me. Perhaps for a more educated BB Trader, it might be different.
