From the abstract > A simple trading rule turns this calibration edge into $127 of hypothetical profit versus $92 for o1 (p = 0.037). I'm lazy: is this hypothetical shooting fish in a barrel, or is it a real edge?

Hmm. I thought I'd tried that but perhaps I didnt' read the documentation close enough. Even after reading your reply it took me about 20 minutes to realize the subgraph has to have a name prefix of "cluster." And after
