How Steel bar trades on the Grand Exchange
Smelted bars sit downstream of ores and upstream of finished gear. Steel through rune have the highest turnover. A very high buy limit means one full cycle can move a lot of capital, so the margin per unit does not need to be large for the flip to be worth doing. It is F2P tradeable, so both F2P and members accounts can see and trade it.
