I am always amazed when rules get modified in the " middle of contests".

The extension to 8 trading sessions certainly changes the whole perspective of your contest. Because of the change in time periods for measurement of the 40%, some people will have entered under the old rules and some will have entered under the new rules.

The mental analysis for why and when etc. for 5 days is not necessarily the same as for 8 days. Five days is much narrower in scope than eight days----an 8 day period will elicit a different analytical response.

Happy 1999.
