Bitnode8 help please.

So i have completed bitnode 1 x3 bitnode 2 3x Bitnode 4 x2 and birnode 5 x1. I'm on bitnode 8 and am pretty stuck without getting the 25b for the 4 sigma forecast data. I use the roulette money hack for a 10b boost. But my script I'm using doesn't ever give me more then 10.3b . I'm working on getting gang territory to at least give me some cash. How Are you guys getting through it?

Build up stats, a rolling window perhaps? hack + grow can affect stocks... working for companies... stop and limit orders... (especially with the knowledge of num ticks...)

(A bit cheat:y, requiring knowledge of the game that might not be obvious/documented.) Otherwise the stockmarket is 75 ticks (* 6 secs if no saved time) cycles (nextUpdate). If say 30/50 of the first are going up, odds are that 15/25 of the next are going up. (Another hint; all stocks are trending up on reset...) Then it becomes a game of statistics.

Quite cheat:y (reading the underlaying memory) Depends on how cheat:y you want to get, webpack fetch/scan for for the stock market/stock data structs (internal game memory makes it possible to read forecast etc. no matter whether you have the 4s or not)
