simulate past end of session? #98

Closed GeorgLink closed 5 years ago

Question: Should we simulate how much people would have earned if the simulation had not appruptly ended?

Answer YES: Reward participants for thinking ahead and optimizing their working/strategy plan. Encourage participants to consider long-term trading strategy up to the end of the session. Offers bought that expire after session will payout if planning was well done.

Answer NO: Reward participants for optimizing long-term in the beginning and short term in the last part. Encourage participants to consider short term trading strategy at the end of the session. Offers bought that expire after the session will have wasted money.

Implementation of YES is harder to do.

I think we decided to not do this.

No, definitely not doing this.

Each session starts with the same conditions (wipe simulation and simulate two days before users join; users start with same balance every session; no earnings after session duration ends)
