Why isnt their a rule against managers who buy in player and then in that same week sell the player for lets say 300% more?
I think its stealing..

because it's a free market society. if someone will pay that price then it is not stealing.

Also -> you sold a player for 7K and the byer was able only to resell him for 2K!

I think they should punish you also and making you pay him the difference

Merc is right, that's just supply + demand. Althou some people say that free market society IS actually just legal stealing...

Most of these games have had issues with day-trading. Most of eliminated the practice by charging a rather large percentage if you sell a player quickly.

However, in Grid-Iron, its a free market, but not a very efficient market. So if you're smart, you can probably cover that percentage if you're buying the right players at the right price.

I have no problem with a free market but to help iron out inconsistency then a hold period of say half a season should be instilled when buying players

I know some see daytrading as a horrific evil. I think it is a viable method to achieve success in the game. There is already enough pressure on the supply side to keep prices reasonable. forcefully reducing demand seems to be counter productive to me.

Indeed nothing wrong with daytrading (although i don't do it myself)

Some people want a realistic engine to have fun, others get the same fun out of daytrading, its a way of life
