The TL is a place where players are bought and sold.

If you want to use that mechanism to attempt to DT, go for it.

If you want it to strictly make your team better, go for it.

How do you think about daytrading?

What are advantages of daytrading in your opinion and do you really think daytrading should be a part of the game? Even though it kind of ruins the transfermarket pricewise.

I can't imagine the advantages of daytrading weights bigger than the disadvantages... I hope you can open my eyes then.

He's not supporting anything. He's just saying: '''if you wanna do it, then do it. If you don't want to, then don't. Your decision, not mine."

It's not like anyone can stop daytraders even if they decide to daytrade after taxes.

Precisely.

On a personal level, I don't need to DT. I was ahead of the curve when it came to Arena expansion, and my financial situation is one of the healthiest in BB.

On the other hand, if someone can do it successfully wiith the new controls in place (the agent fees), more power to them.

There are many ways to build a successful team.

If someone builds a better team than me and beats me, I tip my hat and move on to the next game.

just posting what is done in another manager game I play:

1. If you sell a player within 5 weeks of buying him: 95% of the profits will be deducted in taxes
2. If you sell a player between 6-13 weeks of buying him: 50% of the profits will be deducted.
3. If you sell a player after having him for 13 weeks: the tax is 20% of the profits.

If you have bought a player and then decide to sell him, the formula becomes: Sale Price – Bought Price = Profits.

nice 95%!! - wages = a likely loss!!

id like to see (although i appreciate prob difficult to do) top 3 bidders get chance to offer a contract and then the player decides (probably highest offered wage + length of contract) who he will go to...

how crazy / far off is an idea like this???

IAll daytrading really does is it fixes the holes in the market. If there are times where an individual skill set is undervalued by the market, a daytrader will buy and then sell later at market price or at a time when the market overvalues those skills. The more people who daytrade, the more stable the market will be.

The following is a thought exercise.

Let's say that it is good for the game that the market is stable. Then wouldn't it make sense for BB to implement a mechanism to stabilize the market, perhaps through bot bidders if the price was too low. Or if it is not possible to automate, hire people to bid on players. They could be assigned teams in D.V.

The stability of the market would improve the game experience for all owners, without giving economic advantages to other teams that you are actually competing with.

DT really doesn't ruin the price market. Imagine you want to sell your best trainee and you put him on the TL for 0. Imagine that there is only one player interested and he would get your player for 1000$. DT would make sure that the price for that player go up to a reasonable value which now is reasonable value minus 20%.

There are other reasons to be against DT which are nicely described in: [message= 9808.35 ]

I thing 20% is a fair obstacle to DT and I suggest to wait this second half of the season and look how the situation evolves

On the other hand draft picks are free, or at worst only the cost of scouting,
