BENEFIT OF TRADES:

SSK shows the original portfolio average return as well as the average return of a portfolio (meaning with trades) each week in his Indexes report.

Here are the results and the differential (all in favor of trading) since PSL3 with one exception - PSL9. We have no separate stats for PSL1 and PSL2, although I did another type of analysis after PSL2.

Therefore, I'm showing the differential for each PSL contest except PSL1.

       Trades  No Trades  DIFF   
 PSL2  26.00%   16.03%   +9.97%   
 PSL3 - 4.12%   -6.13%   +2.01%   
 PSL4  14.54%   14.40%   +0.04%   
 PSL5  22.70%   18.84%   +3.86%   
 PSL6 - 1.91%   -4.01%   +2.10%   
 PSL7   8.19%    5.36%   +2.83%   
 PSL8 - 3.00%   -3.94%   +0.94% 
 PSL9 -12.19%   -9.55    -2.64%

Keep in mind that it is harder to get the full benefit of trading in the contest vs real life because you have to do it as of a closing price versus during a day when a stock may have spiked up or down.
