We do not publish how the parts are weighted. The reason is the same one a credit bureau has for publishing score bands but not its formula: publish the formula and people optimise the formula instead of getting better. In a game with real funded accounts on the line, a published formula is a cheat sheet for scripts and grinders, and the people it hurts most are honest traders competing against them. Keeping the recipe private is player protection. ## Judge the engine by what is public * The rules of every Trial, published before you play. * [The six habits the score rewards and the three that drag it down](/docs/playing-a-trial/how-scoring-works.md), stated openly. * [Your Grading](/docs/playing-a-trial/your-grading.md) after every run: where you ranked on each part of your trading, and what to fix, read from your own trade log. You always know what is being measured and what to do about it. The only thing withheld is the exact arithmetic that would let someone farm the score without trading well. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://size.club/docs/playing-a-trial/why-the-formula-is-private.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
