Updated Day Trading List
Hey Guys,
As it gets deeper and deeper into the year, day trading becomes more feasible! If this is a method you are not comfortable with, I highly encourage you to practice at this stage of Fifa. Earlier in Fifa, it's more competitive with less special cards in the game, but this is a perfect time to get this method down.
Once you know it and grasp it fully, you can make coins whenever you want.
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.
Currently, you're seeing some really good fluctuations with TOTS links, so primarily La Liga and Premier League.
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!

Now, let's talk about what can impact card pricing and some key notes!
1. Substitute/Complimentary Trading
La Liga has been very heavy in midfielders and it's one of the strongest positions in the league. The midfielders in this league will have a hard time rising since we recently got both Coutinho and Racic. People substitute these cards in for a current midfielder.
In terms of compliment trading, Jordi Alba is the best example of this right now! He went up a ton due to Coutinho and people are likely finding that's the easiest way to link him in a team!
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.
An IF Renato switched to a ST with a hunter sells 2-3K higher than the base listing. If you are aware of the added value, it allows you to have more trading options! This works best on central based cards as the modifiers are more expensive!
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 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!

6. Guaranteed SBC Panic
Each week, we're seeing a great opportunity to flip cards with the Guaranteed SBC! Cards are sold heavily because people are switching their teams to link the new cards or selling cards to get liquidity to complete the SBC!
If you are trading cards consistently, you can easily see when there is a lot of panic! I will be trying to shout some cards in the panic this week and already have my eyes on quite a few!
