Ratio analysis:

b) Discipline ratio: 85.7% ... 12/14, excellent discipline displayed, sticking to spank activity during market hours very well
c) Positive to negative emotion ratio: 41.7% ... 5 /(5+7), this is a proxy for profitability deflated by market choppiness...a consistently high ratio through all market conditions shows a good adaptability to various market conditions... the 41.7% is on the low side, and much work remains to be done in this department... unlike with an aggregate profitability indicator, the use of a Spank the Monkey Choppiness Deflator allows for more meaningful comparisons of success between periods of contrasting market activity...
