Cannot figure out what I have to do, to get it to work. Any ideas?
not my making, just got it from other sources (disclaimer:not responsible for the accuracy or your actions with using these codes)

The above steps will work for 90% of the trip trading you will be doing.
Not sure what you can trade your sequences for?
N4TL/yoursequence/date -This shows what you can legally trade for, takes into account legalities, rest legalities, etc
N4T/yoursequence/date -This shows what you can trade for just based on staffing numbers. You might have a 117 legality, but if you can trade around some other trips in your schedule you could get these to work.
Do NOT use the HTMD code when using the Automated Trip Trade System. The HTMD code will remove a duty free period (DFP) from your schedule when trading out of a day, but will not add a DFP when needed.
if you make a few trip trades it is possible that the ATTOT system will not allow you to continue trading because it will think you have less than 8 days off for the contractual month.
Instead of using HTMD, use:
HTA/A/24/<date> to add a DFP and;
HTD/A/24/<date> to delete a DFP
Remove DFP first then add DFP
