Do all trading bots use the same software or something?

Just something kinda interesting I noticed, on a lot of items, most 24/7 trading bots are all buying and selling at the same price. It makes sense on items with margins of a scrap or something, but even when there are much larger margins, none of the bots are trying to undercut each other.

Yes, these are all bot.tf bots, and they use an autoprice function to price their stuff and bp.tf premium to undercut eachother. Though bot.tf isnt the only bot out there, as you can code your own bot.

Bot.tf bots dont undercut each other , they match the most common price.

No they don't. I have been selling bots for years and honestly, they can be written in any programming language and made to do anything. bot.tf provides a much easier interface and usability than manually creating or getting someone to make a bot for you and maintaining that - so they do run a couple hundred bots if im not wrong - but they're definitely not the only ones and not all bots are the same.

Most bots rn are either Nicklason or bottf

what i mean is the use of bp.tf premium since every 30 minutes they'd bump their trades to be in the top of the list
