1/ Been getting a bunch of DMs asking for trading tips in general. Here’s what I got:
2/ There is no “the market” in FUT, there are like 10 different markets with different trends. Icons, out of packs specials, meta golds, low rated fodder, high rated fodder all behave differently.
3/ Two people could be talking about “the market” and be referring to completely different things. I mostly trade with out of packs specials, so when I say “the market” in this thread, this is what I’m referring to.
4/ The market follows very noticeable cycles - It rises Thurs/Fri after rewards, drops Sat/Sun when people sell their WL teams, and lulls Mon-Wed. It’s obvious to say, but buy at the lows and sell at the highs.
5/ New promo Friday cycle - panic in the morning until about 1 hour after the new promo drops, then the market flies into Friday night. Before a new promo - get liquid Thursday, buy cards around the promo release time, sell Friday night.
6/ Pick a few out of packs special cards in your budget range you’re interested in trading with. Watch their prices at different times and days of the week. Learn their trends. Use FUTBIN graphs to help learn trends. Buy on a downtrend, sell on the uptrend.
7/ Trade with players you want to use in your team, or players you’re a fan of IRL. This will help you remember their prices and trends, and you can play with and enjoy the player while you’re trading.
8/ Always list your cards even the players in your team, list them when you’re not playing and overnight. List them for prices high enough that if they do sell, you can buy the player back and earn good profit. You’ll be surprised how many coins you’ll earn just from lazy buyers
9/ Trading is a grind. 95% of my flips are for 10-20k profit after tax per card. Find something that works for you consistently and stick to it. It’s about the singles and doubles, not the home runs. Most people out here trying to be Barry Bonds, I’m trying to be Ichiro.
