At the end of the competition it will be interesting to see the data in many different ways..

for example as MSGI said about being able to change/drop horses in the middle of the race for stock market (in the real world)... we could slice and dice the result and see who does best in that category... I really think we shouldn't do it now (and focus with the current metrics that Skkilz provide) but I think we should try to do it at the end of the competition...

for example:
1. deleting 1 of the worst performer in each person pick six (and leave 5 only).. assuming ability to cut loss..

2. deleting the top gainer (or cap it to +100%).. to show that people usually sell when it reach certain point and miss the 300 or 400% return

3. probably the most interesting part is if the top gainer and top loser is eliminated and just leave it with the middle 4 (remove outliers).. or instead of removing the outliers.. bt cap it to +100% for the top gainer and cap it to -50% for the worse loser whichever is worse (if the top loser is -30% then leave it as it is)..

And so on so forth..

the idea is to see what happen if the rule change or if we try to modify it to portray real world situation. but of course we should't keep changing the rules or tailor it in a way that will make us to the #1 rank....
