I have been trading some time too, maybe not directly 'day'trading, but some trades surely where. I only did it in the time I found it easy, and that is a long time ago. When the taxes where brought in the game I stopped entirely.

In the meantime people are still yelling that daytraders make too much profit, so BB took extra mesures. I'm sure that traders who are still active (and who are geniusses in my eyes because they can do something I can't) will be discouraged to go on.

The thing bothering me is that it is possible that a team who does not trade could be affected by these extra mesurements, maybe only once in so many time, but still 1 is too much! I already wrote my feelings about it somewhere on the forum, so I'm not going to repeat myself.

The main thing in this tread is that there is some form of panic, and I don't think there is reason for panic for those who are not a die-hard daytrader who trades many more then just a few players in a season time.

I have 21 players at this moment, bought a PG to be trained somewhere in the second half of the season, in the meantime I need to sell at least 3 of my inside players which I am training for over a full season now (just not intensively), and that will be after the new rules took effect. I also want to sell 1 or 2 PGs, and possibly 1 to 3 SG-SFs in the next 14 weeks. I realy don't think I need to fear the new rules will affect my team though. And it shouldn't since none of this is trading. If we add all up I'll be selling up to 8 players in 1 season time, I think BBs will alow this amount easely. Ofcourse it gets a diffrent story when you buy 40 players and sell as much each season...

i think im missing something then because i havent seen what people consider a Day Trader for a while now...

Can anyone point me to a team that is currently a DT?

well I was wondering the same thing as you, I don't see any either, still some managers did shout about them on the forums not so long ago, claiming they made sickening amounts of money.
I'm not the person to go looking to see which teams are having this kind of succes...
I also answered on the survey that I did not agree that DTers made too much profit, but I don't doubt many did fill out they agreed. After all, say you don't realy are into this discussion, don't realy know about the 'problem' but you see that question and need to fill something out... don't you think many will agree that there is too much profit to be made in a way that you didn't know about yourself? every profit someone else makes that you can't make is too much profit!

BB just looked at the answers of the survey, and decided they needed to do something about DTing, because probably most agreed that it made too much profit.

I wonder what the results would be if the question was asked in this way: there is not enough profit to be made from daytrading. I'd bet many would agree too. ;)

finally!!

thanks a LOT!

New rules suck ... Drop the salaries then if u want make those horrible rules. Or figure other way to solve this problem!

Is it normal to sell and buy players every week? Is that a part of the game? I did not know that.
There is a football game named (http://www.dugout-online.com) dugout-online where you have to own a player in 10 weeks before you are able to sell him. Before that it isn't possible to put him on the market. I do think that makes "day-trading" very slow. Maybe such an idea works better here as well?

i still dont have a clue what penalties im facing...

I know that I will never figure out from my team:D

New rules suck because i get -170 000 $ every week if i don't have the home game in same week. Where i can get money?? Drop the salaries then if u want make those horrible rules. Or figure other way to solve this problem!

You get home games virtually every week.

Can anyone point me to a team that is currently a DT?

Currently and currently ... some have a position as a consequence of DT.
There has been teams like (41703) that has made a strong roster from day-trading (and others like (99007)). But lately they have slowed down. The Österreich team is the winner of the Bundesliga last season and you can of course ask your self if that's because of DT?

However, for a team that has made, say, 15 sales in the last season, the sales tax might instead range from 4.5% to 30%.

first thx for the answer, it really helps us planing the season.

Nevertheless why are u saying "say 15 sales" and "migh tinstead range". Are those numbers not always the same or dont you know the exact numbers. i believe this is something which is stated in the news and in the rules.
