Switching in midstream from a current, short losing proposition is just human nature wanting to avoid further losses. However, its exactly the wrong thing to do for this thread.

What we are accumulating here is the out-of-sample performance of datamined statistical trends from past years. It is the "proof of the pudding" as to whether a trend can be relied on to be statistically significant. Tweaking the rules destroys out-of-sample significance, the trend has already been tweaked in its creation, further tweaking is very likely to result in just random results going forward.
