Who modified my algorithms in the last day? I haven't touched my algorithms in a week.

My last time writing an algorithm was 6 days ago. There shouldn't be any activity in the past week. But 4 out 5 of my contest algorithms have been modified in the last day according to the last modified header. What is the reason?

Hi Indigo,

What is the last modified time? The contest runs backtests on your submitted algorithms each night, so I'm wondering if somehow the last modified timestamp is getting affected by those automatic backtests. It's odd that only 4 of 5 were affected, but I'm wondering if it has something to do with the snapshot you submitted to the contest being different from the most recent backtest you ran manually. This is all a bit of a guesswork, but if you'd like, you can email [email protected] with affected algorithm IDs and we can try to take a look.

Sorry for the confusion.
