One buyer+seller bot or two solo buyer and solo seller?

A frequent question I get is: it's better to run a seller+buyer bot or two separate bots, one for sales and one for buying cards?

If you have enough computational power (i.e. two machines or a powerful machine able to virtualize a copy of Windows) the answer is the latter: it's far better to have two bots, a solo seller and a solo buyer. You will end up with more trades and with a larger profit.

In the very old times transferring the collections between a seller and a buyer was a nightmare, fortunately now things are much easier and bots can automatically transfer the cards and the collection.  Here you are two snapshots (click to enlarge) of a very basic setting to automatically transfer cards and tixs: you can start from here and play with the settings and experiment a bit.
