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.

Lets say I train PF. I sell 2 of them each season and buy 2 trainees to replace them. With the money earned I do upgrade my team e.g. 1 PG, 1 SG, 1 SF and 1 C and I also sell 1 of my former player for each position. This makes a total of 12 trades. Then may be I am going to be punished by the game engine and have 3 times 8 weeks of injury. For not being demoted I will have to replace them which will make 6 more trades (3 sales and 3 buys). I do have already 18 trades within 14 weeks without being a DT at all. So please my friendly BB-staff be somehow generous when interpreting “a couple of trades in the past 14 weeks”.

Dont forget to factor in the GS drops as well... and the fan loss when selling players...

There is something people don't consider here: first, the agent fee is really large if you resell quickly. 20%. If you have high turnover and you sell quickly, this is deadly for your income.

On the other hand, if you sell players that have been on your roster for a while, the agent fee will be, say, 10% or even as little as 5%. Even if you have a bit of transfers over the course of the season, you will still retain more money. This is where the major difference in income between traders and non-traders will come from.

This being said, I am iffy on the new changes. I am starting to feel like we're trying to kill a fly with a cannon here.
