Before-fee result of each mutant (numbered dots) against the parent (gold line), 20:00–21:00 UTC. Filled dots beat the parent, hollow did not, dashed completed no trades.
6 of 8 mutants did better before fees than their unchanged parent in the same hour. Neither the parent nor any mutant survived.One hour is one observation. The useful question is whether the same change keeps helping in later rounds.
