'''Insider Trading''' is a type of [[Artifact]] in the ''[[Rogue Legends]]'' DLC for ''[[Bloons TD 6]]''. It was introduced in {{BTD6 version|55.0}}, then became unobtainable in {{BTD6 version|55.1}}, then became fully available in {{BTD6 version|56.0}}. It reduces the Artifact Power cost of Artifacts the player purchases from a Merchant by 1. It only discounts the first few Artifacts the player purchases after obtaining this Artifact, the amount depending on the rarity. While not mentioned in the description, the Legendary version is worth double the Artifact Power when sold to Merchants.

It reduces the Artifact Power cost of Artifacts the player purchases from a Merchant by 1. It only discounts the first few Artifacts the player purchases after obtaining this Artifact, the amount depending on the rarity, and does not discount the items for Monkey Money or Rogue XP. This item cannot be sold at or to Merchants no matter the rarity.{{fn|While not mentioned in the description, the Legendary version is worth double the Artifact Power when sold to Merchants. However, this has no function, as Insider Trading can never be sold to Merchants.}}

==Tips==

*This is a relatively low impact Artifact. Mass-buying items from the Merchants is already diminishing in value, as all items are sold at a higher cost than the base value anyway.

*Avoid choosing this Artifact if the aim is to exchange for saving value in Tokens. The incapability to sell it off and the slow return of this Artifact makes this Artifact almost useless, but at least not detrimental.

Version 55.1 reverted Gentlemonkey Gadgeteer's starting party to how it was prior to version 55.0, effectively making the Artifact unobtainable. Version 56.0 ~~fully implemented~~ it and added Common and Rare variants of it, but did not add any variant of it back to Gentlemonkey Gadgeteer's starting party for unknown reasons.

Version 55.1 reverted Gentlemonkey Gadgeteer's starting party to how it was prior to version 55.0, effectively making the Artifact unobtainable. Version 56.0 fixed the crash bug and made it obtainable through normal means. This update also changed its effects slightly and added Common and Rare variants of it, but did not add any variant of it back to Gentlemonkey Gadgeteer's starting party for unknown reasons.
