Daytrading goalie's....

[Havok]

First off i'd like to say im no expert in daytrading. Actually i think its kinda cheesy but it a part of Hattrick.

Now..... being a full fledged Daytrader is very hard and very time consuming. But, if you just wanna make a few bucks here and there then listen up!!!!!!

Goalie's is where its at. here's an example:

I bought this guy for 53k like 2 weeks ago....

Vladimir Nutiu (5002699)
30 years, poor form, healthy

A controversial person who is balanced and dishonest.
Has inadequate experience and poor leadership abilities.

Nationality: România
Assessed value: 156 000 US$
Wage: 2 928 US$/week including 20% Bonus
Owner: Maniacal Misfitz
Warnings: 0


Stamina: excellent Goaltending: passable
Playmaking: wretched Passing: wretched
Winger: wretched Defending: wretched
Scoring: disastrous Set Pieces: weak


He was in Weak form when i bought him and now he's in poor form. So i said F**k this guy.... i'm gonna get another. So 2 days ago i grabbed a 20 year old passable goalie in passable form for 66k in canada.

Now i placed Vlad on the transfer market for 90k and set his bidding time to end tonight at 9:30p.m. And wouldn't ya no, there's been 3 bids on him and its up to 97k with still 1 hour to go.


So basically i bought 2 goalie's for a combined 119k, now i'm selling the old crappy one and at the very least i'll make 87,300 for him.

So if Vlad sells for that amount ,when its all said and done i get a 20 year old passable goalie in passable form for 31,700k.
That aint bad at all.


Im seriously considering grabing younger goalie's during the day for between 60-70k and selling them at night for 100k plus.


Now like i said in the beginning this is kinda chessy, but there are guys in Sweden that make tons and tons of money a week doing this.

Doing it with outfielder's is harder, It takes more time and skill. But with goalie's its real simple. Dont pay over 65-70k and dont sell for under 90k

Its all about when you sell them. USA is a very bloated(sp?)market. If you sell at peak times you can make much more profit. A couple weeks ago i told you guys how i sold a 18 year old passable scorer/weak passer for 80k and i only bought him for 35k.


Anyway, i'll shut up now

if i decided to try it out some more i'll keep everyone updated.

questions??? comments??? flames???

[lytic]

now just imagine if you trained goalie and bow at high inad and sold @ passable.

[Havok]

yep..... i was thinking about that the other day. If i could do it all over again i would probally do that for my first season

[lytic]

same here... train one 17 year old and daytrade the backups.

[Havok]

yep

[Havok]

Vlad sold for 101k

im loving life

[Easy Mac]

arghhhhh!!!!!!

I've trained these 2 20 year olds for like 6 or 7 weeks... f'ing pop.

Both are passable, 1 is worth 273K, the other $272, and my indadequate one who hasn't trained is worth 133K.

I've waited to sell them b/c passable->solid is probably worth at least an extra 50-60K, and I would have been wasting my time if I sold them now. Seeing as how I paid a total of 153K for my 2 passables, I'm not too upset, and am willing to wait. Hell, I might get 153K for 1 alone.

[Havok]

with value's like that, your due to pop anytime now, probally next week.

[Jets80]

Now i placed Vlad on the transfer market for 90k and set his bidding time to end tonight at 9:30p.m

Is it possible to set a specific time for the bidding to end? I thought it was always a few days.

[Easy Mac]

well, i was banking on them popping this week.

It's always three days, it's just a matter of when you put him on the market... I you wait until it's exactly 9:30, his deadline will be 9:30, but only in three days...

I pulledlike 5 passable keepers in my early days to keep me out of debt.

[Havok]

i'll keep everyone updated.

[Rich1033]

Bastard.

You haven't got enough cash to make this offer

freakin debt.

[Havok]

lol

i got one of those this morning on a solid goalie going for only 150k

[daedalus]

If you insist on this "selling at night" shenanigan, how can we call you a daytrader?

[FrogMan]

daed, you got it, from now on, we'll call Havok the "Keeper NightTrader"

FM

[Havok]

lol..... buy during the day... sell at night

[AccardoOutfit29]

I'm having no luck at all buying keepers. It seems the price always starts going up to a point where no profit could be made selling them. And I look in every country as well.

[daedalus]

Are you trying to buy to upgrade your team or make like our favourite Daytrader-on-Night-Shift Havok? For improving your team, you shouldn't have too much problem. For Day/Night Trading, you need a little luck on your side to find player people missed.

[Havok]

btw 8:00-11:00 A.m. Eastern time and 11:00 - 2:00 pm has been good to me.

Country's like Thailand and Oceania have been good to me so far.

it takes time. Im thinking if i can make an extra 15-30k a week then i'll be happy.

I'm trying to do the whole daytrading business as a good keeper is very easy to find nowadays if trying to improve your team. Definitely seems more like luck than an actual strategy when daytrading from my unsuccessful experiences so far.

[Eilim]

You could always try your hand at "Clown" daytrading.. Alot more work, but seem the profit margin is real good. Check out HP United (95609) in Eesti.

I'd give it a shot, but I don't have the patience for it. I get annoyed as it is looking through all the regions for players using searchable fields, let alone un-searchable ones.

[sterlingice]

I've tried clown daytrading, but it is a lot of work to find them. Then again, low risk, high reward provided you advertise for them on the transfer market.

SI

[Havok]

Tong Udom already has a 90k bid on him, so i should at the very least make a little profit. But i expect him to sell for alot more.

I'll keep ya updated.

[AccardoOutfit29]

Damn you Havok, I see you have a bid on a passable keeper with about an hour left to go to bid on him. And I don't have enough cash to get him.

j/k

[Havok]

lol

i didnt get him, they jacked it up passed 80k

[AccardoOutfit29]

Bah, hate when they do that.

[Havok]

Found me another one....
