Got Lucky and Unlucky at the same time . . .

Lucky part
After new rules implementation
my score has now Jumped to 74.23 higher than the #1 score

Unlucky part
Algo does not qualify the "Hedge" criteria. Hence ranks #116.

But the most uncomfortable part is I am yet to digest this new
Hedge rule. I hope this criteria will be published in simple english on
the Contest page under judging section so that a non-quant like me
will be able to appreciate and incorporate in my algo

I was on the other end of the stick all my algos in the contest are hedged and my algo that was in the mid 20s last contest jumped to 6th.

Good luck spencer.
Can you elaborate what do you mean by your algos are hedge.

Simply that I am long and short securities in all of them.
