Items and bulk actions

The per-item controls inside a group, the bulk edit bar, and the actions available on selected items.

Group settings say how to trade; the item table says what to trade. Expand a group to see it.

Columns

ColumnEditableMeaning
CheckboxSelects the item for the actions above the table.
Game iconThe game the item belongs to. Click the header icon to sort by game.
ItemThe Steam market_hash_name. The search box above filters this column.
Inv.Copies of the item currently in the inventory.
BuyNumber of active buy orders for the item.
SellNumber of active listings for the item.
Buy toggleyesWhether the bot may place buy orders for this item.
QtyyesTarget quantity to keep ordered.
Sell toggleyesWhether the bot may list this item for sale.
Buy, {code}yesThe buy price used for orders, in the account currency ({code} is its ISO code).
Sell, {code}yesThe seller-side sell price, in the account currency.
SteamThe price a buyer pays, derived from the sell price.

Any header can be clicked to sort; the sort order is remembered per group in the browser. Editing a toggle, the quantity or a price saves that item immediately.

Hand-edited prices

A price you type stays until the next analysis overwrites it. To stop the bot from recalculating a group's prices at all, turn off Calculate prices.

Item menu

The menu on every row:

ActionEffect
Recalculate pricesQueues a fresh price analysis for this item.
Cancel ordersQueues cancellation of the item's buy orders.
DeleteRemoves the item from the bot configuration.

Deleting an item removes it from the group only — it does not cancel listings or orders that already exist on Steam.

Bulk bar: entire group

The row above the table applies to every item in the group, regardless of the search filter or your selection:

ControlEffect
Buy on / offSwitches the buy flag of every item.
Sell on / offSwitches the sell flag of every item.
Qty + ApplySets the same target quantity on every item.
Buy price ΔShifts every buy price by an absolute amount or a percentage.
Sell price ΔShifts every sell price by an absolute amount or a percentage.

The small button next to a Δ field switches between the currency symbol (absolute shift) and % (relative shift). Negative values lower the price.

Selected items

Checkbox selection drives its own action bar above the table. It covers every checked item in the group, including rows currently hidden by the search box:

  • Recalculate prices — queue a fresh analysis for the selection.
  • Cancel orders — queue cancellation of the selection's buy orders.
  • Delete — remove the selected items from the bot, after a confirmation dialog.
  • Clear selection — uncheck everything in the group.

Adding items

The + icon on the group header opens three ways to fill the group:

  1. From catalog — type at least a few characters and pick items from the search results.
  2. Import file — choose a game and upload a file with item names.
  3. Missing items — pick a game; every item from its inventory, listings and orders that is not in the group yet is added in one call, and the number added is reported.

New items arrive with Buy and Sell off and zero prices. Analysis fills the prices in, but the two switches are yours to flip — by hand or with the bulk bar — before anything trades.
