Still scratching my head on that one as to why you see it and why I don't. But, I also created a third method, this one I set the weight to 0. I deactivated the ranker in one of the other methods. And ran the test. This was to see if a weight of 0 was the same as disabling the ranker -- that would make sense but I hadn't thought of it that way. First run: All three methods reported identical final equity. I've seen this before -- sometimes it takes 2 runs when you start OT and switch over to Port Sim, make changes and run a test. Once it has gone through a couple of runs, subsequent changes show up with just one Analysis Run. Second run: The world started working as expected -- the ranker left active and with a weight reported a different final equity than the other 2 methods. The other 2 methods matched, proving a weight of 0 deactivates the ranker. Thanks for setting me straight on the 0 weight. I'll have to take a look at my various methods and see if I've accidentally deactivated a ranker. You might have just given me a reason to do more testing (and please don't tell my wife! -- she thinks I spend way too much time researching). Thanks, Jeff B | |
