Day Trading Updated List
Hey Guys,
It is time for an updated day trading list and right now provides an awesome opportunity for this method!
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.
Right now, cards are moving really well due to the abundance of new player SBC's coming out! People are changing their teams often to incorporate these new cards!
Below is a list of cards that are fluctuating around 10% each day! I will show you guys some graphs to display the information I'm looking at and get you guys some examples in the coming days!
What you should note is that most of these players provide great links to popular SBC's such as Vidal and Renato among others. Renato had the highest completion I have seen in a really long time!

Now, let's talk about what can impact card pricing and some key notes!
1. Substitute/Complimentary Trading
Renato Sanches came out recently and he completely destroyed central midfielders. I ran a poll on Instagram and with over 30,000 votes 42% said they would complete him.
This caused a massive sell-off in other midfielders meaning we have to establish new prices and that they would go well under their daily low. They likely would rebound from the panic, but timing the bottom can be very very tricky!
His compliments for the SBC also continued to rise even with the leaked card. What If Pereira and IF Cancelo are great examples of this!
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.
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.
5. Bid
Remember, Futbin is using buy now prices recorded from the market. It does not record bids that are won cheap. Be sure to add open bids to your watchlist to keep a nice flow of cards to trade with!
