WTF happened there?
I see that Acceleration and Michael's Bot Laboratory both bet, and they both have that "Bot" tag. I think this is sufficient to resolve YES, unless somebody gives me a convincing reason otherwise, and soon.
William Hargraves (Bot) does not have that "Bot" tag. This would seem to mean that William Hargraves (Bot) is not actually a bot, but rather a person who has given themselves the misleading name of "(Bot)". (If I had a dog and named it Bicycle, it would still be a dog and not a bicycle.)
On the other hand, William Hargraves (Bot) has been making some pretty stupid bets, which makes me think William Hargraves (Bot) actually is a bot...
@Boklam Most or all of those Botlab trades were placed manually. I switched accounts. But acc and William were definitely two different bots betting on this market.
@MichaelWheatley OK. I guess you don't need the "bot" tag to be a bot, right? Because the API lets anyone write a program to trade on their account?
Anyway, I'm pretty confident the answer is YES here so I resolved.
@Boklam Yeah, exactly. A computer program can trade from any account, you just need to give it the account's API key.
