All the traders traded with the SAME counterparts and other traders from competing firms for the most part day in day out.

Don't know exactly but they probably have different goals and timeframes. One may be scalping while one may be taking a longer term position and one may be hedging. There are lots of reasons to make a trade and guys with different goals, strategies and timeframes can often trade with each other and still have things work out well for them.
