there really is an easy system that someone had already suggested which is a minimum contract

i think in the nba there is a minimum 10 day contract if bb had that or even a 20 day minimum contract actual day trading as such would be dead but signing someone up for a few weeks training them and then selling them at a profit would still be fine

your system has a lot weaknesses, because this punish people who ask for a real price also very hard, and especially whn you aren't online on primetime to sell player*, player for normal pirces are often not selled.
Also it leads to low starting bids, and those prices normally get raised to the normal price in the last ten minutes, but the servers aren't stable and if they are unstable you sell your player for a below minimum price - thats why it is necessary to start with normal prices and also wished by the BB.

* if they go on list for 1$, often day trader bid on then to get then cheap, and aren't there two intrested players online who are willing to pay a normal price the players goes very cheap and this will also lead to daytrading and not to avid it ;)

One good idea from Hattrick is that previous team and formation team receives a percentage from the sale of players.

This will not take the advantege of day trading but at least will penalise less the players that are selling players during the day.

If anyone wants evidence of someone cheating check this out, I was looking at my players values and noticed:

"There have been 68 recent transfers of 31-32 year old power forwards with respectable inside defense and any potential. Of these, the ones with skills most similar to Len Love have been selling for around $ 60 000 to $ 10 600 000."

While I like Len and he is an ok DIV 4 backup player there is no universe in which he or a similar player is a $10,000,000 player or even a $1,000,000 player or even a $200,000 player. Len is nice but his best skill is respectable and he is 32 so $60,000 is about right.

So someone, somewhere has transferred $10,000,000. Is that allowed? I hope the BBs can investigate this.

It was someone definitely cheating. It is not allowed. Chances are the BBs have already seen and dealt with this, however people that cheat still affect the TPE, even if they are punished. So it will appear like that for a little while, and then it will go back to normal soon. Cheers for pointing it out though :)

Yes they have, really. The GM's name is Lord of Doom.

I don't really care what anyone else says to me. He said I have to do this so I will report every single transfer.


Did you ever consider not being a day trader and just playing the game without feeling the need to buy and sell players like this was some sort of stock market game?
