I think the main thing that most people seem to miss, is that you need to be trying to replicate human behaviour as much as possible. Taking a fifteen minute break per hour isn't exactly normal behaviour. Who actually goes to train a combat stat and puts themselves on a 45 minute play, 15 minute break timer? If you genuinely want to 'babysit' your bot, chuck in a few movements of your own during the script - for example, if your script doesn't check your stats, then maybe go ahead and do that halfway through a kill every once in a while. Are you running to the bank to go and get food? Maybe try pausing the script and restocking your food yourself, maybe choose to go to a different bank? Find ways to simulate boredom, and a lack of attention, and do your own path-breaking. Even then you might get banned, but you'll sure as hell have a better chance at getting 70+ stats if you make it look semi-legit.

You need to get an understanding of how merchanting works if you're asking about "being up to date" in what you should buy and sell. I've used ge-tracker. It's an awesome tool to have, but again, if you don't actually understand the process behind merchanting, there's no point paying for it. Merchanting is about finding your own items to buy and sell for profit. If everybody bought and sold the same items for the sake of merchanting, you wouldn't be able to merchant them. Good luck.

If you're worried about getting your account banned, then don't bot. Most botters will get banned at one point or another. But that's why some are drawn to it; to see whether we can collectively outsmart Jagex.
