1) wheeler-dealer needs a hyphen

2) (business)
倒爷 doesn't mean *political* wheeler-dealer
‘he is a great wheeler-dealer in the corridors of power’

3) It should be "sells high" not "sell high".

4) "tradesman"? No, a tradesman is (usually) a man who practices a manual trade.
Obviously "trader" was intended here.
But "trader who buys low and sells high" is just a definition of "profiteer". We don't need that.

5) (coll.)

Diff:
