Built safety-first · simulation by default
Fair question in a niche full of scams. Here is exactly how the software is built, stated as what it does today, not as a promise about anyone's enforcement. Five pillars, in plain language.
It runs on your machine. We never hold your Steam credentials.
The app is local-first. Your CSFloat key and Steam session live in your own OS keychain, used only by the bot running on your computer. They are never sent to us, never put in the dashboard bundle, and never written to logs. The license verifies offline against a baked-in public key.
Simulation by default. You can run the whole engine before anything touches your account.
It ships in paper-trading mode. The full scan, score, and decision loop runs against live prices with no real money and no live Steam action. Live execution only happens when you deliberately disable simulation, pass the backend guard, and hold a valid pro license. A missing or invalid license keeps it in simulation.
It shows the after-fee, after-hold result, including losing trades.
Every opportunity is scored on net margin after seller fees, the 7-day Steam hold cost, and a float-bucket comparison. A "cheap" listing that loses money never reaches the top, and a losing trade shows in red. Try the same math in the calculator.
Steam Market buying is unsupported by design, so the bot can't perform the action that most often gets accounts restricted.
Every venue action is rated auto, assisted,
manual, or unsupported. The executor only auto-runs
auto ops. Steam Market buy is unsupported, and
the read-only connectors keep buy, list, and deliver at manual or
unsupported. This is enforced in the backend, not the UI.
Arbitrage can lose. Holds tie up capital. No tool controls Valve.
Profits here are real but thin. The 7-day hold locks your capital, float and liquidity can turn a "profit" into a loss, and the unofficial APIs the app reads can break without notice. The software is engineered to refuse the actions that most often get accounts restricted, but no tool can promise zero risk or control how Valve enforces its rules. Trade only your own account, keep volumes sane, and read the terms and EULA before going live. This is not financial advice.
