Day Trading List 750K+ Budget

Hey Guys,

I wanted to make a post to welcome all our new joins to one of the very best trading methods!

This market right now is amazing to day trade in as we've had a major coin injection from TOTY and people are really looking to build or modify their teams!

Day trading can be called quite a few different things including trend trading, fluctuation trading, flipping, but it's all one in the same. This technique is revolved around buying cards on low fluctuations and selling at higher fluctuations that occur each day.

This technique is amazing because you are not reliant on EA at all to make coins and it's something you can do constantly. How many coins you make can simply be multiplied by time, budget and efficiency.

Let's start with the basics. Why do cards fluctuate each day?

Cards cannot stay one price all the time. The market moves based on supply and demand. At different periods, demand may outweigh supply or vice versa. This is best seen and utilized with cards who are OUT OF PACKS (OOP). If an inform has no supply and 10-15 get bought within the hour we should expect the price to slowly be moving up. People are buying the cheap cards pushing up the price. Other times, there are simply a lot less cards listed as there may be less people on the game making the cards more rare.

These cards move up and down throughout the day. The movement is usually pretty subtle, but it can look upwards of 10% each day. These are the cards we look for in terms of day trading. We're looking for a 10% fluctuation since EA tax is 5% that will leave us with at least 5% profit after tax, which is always the goal!

With this formula, no matter which cards you buy, you would make around 5-10K on every 100K spent!

For an example, let's say a card fluctuates between 50-57K each day. Overall, it's not much, but it IS enough to profit. If you buy the card at the low point and sell at the high you would make 4.1K after tax. This is on just one card.

In this case, we’ll focus on cards over 50K for those on a little higher budget. I also plan to do one for the lower budget side, but I tend to prefer silver trading, fodders or non rares to build the budget up! 

These cards show good fluctuations and show they have really good demand! Remember, cards will move well based on content, too! In this case, we have a big focus on the Serie A and English links from Ronaldo and Rooney. 

SIF = Second Inform

IF Felix 

SIF Watkins

I wanted to use this example as he works perfectly with Rooney. I expect his price to continue to rise each day. Instead of looking for the very bottom on a low flucuaction, look at a more median point and let him continue rising. 

I like him around 55K to rise into the low 60's! 

IF Lozano

SIF Lozano

IF Depay 

SIF Depay

IF Ederson

IF Upamecano

As you can see, IF Upa looks like a great buy in the low 80's and selling towards 90K! I would aim for his card with a Shadow, too! 

IF Haaland 

Rulebreaker Podence

UCL Live Muriel

Record Breaker Teixera

IF Partey 

OTW Partey 

SIF Alejandro Gomez

TOTGS Jota

IF Suarez

SIF Suarez

IF Mahrez

SIF Bamba

IF Insigne

IF Kounde

IF Lautaro 

Freeze Veratti

IF Kimpembe

IF Digne

SIF Haaland

IF Griezmann

IF Guerreiro

IF Cancelo

IF Henderson

IF Tierney

IF Zaha

IF Kimmich 

SIF Lewandowski

Freeze Thoragan

Record Breaker Donnarumma

This is another great one to touch on! He is the best GK in the Serie A, so I expect him to rise a little bit each day and then even more into Thursday. Remember, Thursday just brings a boost to the market but the general concept of day trading applies well! 

RTTF Rebic

IF Lenglet

IF Casemiro

Let's talk about some other things to be aware of regarding day trading! 

1. Substitute/Complimentary Trading

If a card has a sudden rise or drop it's likely not the best to trade with at that time. This can happen based on new SBC's or objectives. For example, when Boateng came out we saw pretty much all CB's take a hit in price. They all likely hit their "low fluctuation", but the issue is now they retain less value. This would not be a buy in this situation.

On the other hand, we saw a rise in Bayern cards like IF Goretzka and IF Kimmich. 

You can still trade in these windows, but it's a little bit more advanced and it just takes learning new pricing. It's simply important to note why these huge jumps occur.

2. Position Changes/Chem Styles

This one is massive and can add so much value to your trading. Daily fluctuations are based on ANY listings. Let's use Rulebreaker Podence as an example here.

His daily low is around 71K and his high is around 79K. These listings do no take into account position changes or chemistry styles. If he is position changed to LM it adds value. If he has a Hunter it adds value. If you buy him around the low of 71-72K with a position change or Hunter, you can likely sell him higher at those peak times, too!

As you get familiar with this concept, you can often have a few different buy prices for each card making finding deals even easier.

Maybe you know the low of IF Bamba is 22K so you look to buy ANY of his cards at that price. You could also buy IF Bamba with Hunters up to 23K and look to sell higher, too!

It's little things that add up the daily profit!

3. Listing/Lazy Buyers

If you get a low fluctuation on a card, I recommend immediately listing around the price you want to sell at. This year more than ever I see tons of lazy buyers. The market filters still don't work well especially on open bids. This can cause some bids to run high and people may just buy the next one they see out of frustration.

After every card I buy I list every single hour I can! If I am going to bed, I list for 6 hours overnight. That's how I recommend listing every day trading card to optimize profits.

4, Market Movements

The market follows some key patterns particularly pertaining to META cards. The META market is usually highest on Thursday-Friday and quite low on Sunday/Monday. This means you may have to adjust prices subtly during these times. For example, a card may go 5% under their normal low on Sunday. A card may also go 5-10% over their high on Thursday or Friday.

This schedule flows with Thursday rewards and Weekend League. On Thursday and Friday, a majority of players are looking to build their teams for Rivals and Weekend League. Once they complete their games, they sell their team leading to the price declines on Sunday.
