About trading bot
Hi all, I would like to create a trading bot, for my personal use only... Just to automate trades and search for best deals on popular trading sites. Now I'm confused if it's legal or not to use a bot, actually, a lot of sites and users use a bot to help in trading, but in the EULA valve say it's not allowed.

Another question, if it's allowed to use a bot it should have its own account or use mine??
If possible I would like an answer from a valve employee just to be sure.

BTW I'm using the code from this page https://github.com/Jessecar96/SteamBot, in the configuration step it doesn't say if the bot has its own account or I should use my log info...

It's an answer to your first question. Your second question becomes irrelevant because the answer to the first question was "no".

Two wrong does not make one right, if they violate the rules, report them, don't copy them.

Translation: "but others are doing things they shouldn't be doing, so why shouldn't I be allowed to"

No.
