If you don't mind giving away trade secrets (I won't tell anyone), how do you go about getting benefit from lower quality data?

Interesting dilemma huh?...I know what you are saying Rayzor and don't worry I have thought about the same thing myself, so I guess I basically weigh it up..? I still throw some stuff but probably just not as much as some others probably would, especially those who are fully automated or remote and gather data every clear hour. I can't say I've measured and quantised it as such, just good anecdotal evidence through experience processing for 1000's of hrs over more than a decade now and an eye for where the balance is
..although I don't
always get it right, I am only human after all
...I'm probably just jealous of every hour of data and like a hoarder I have issues throwing data unless it is clearly less than optimal..?

BTW, I only look at your croped versions! 100% is a waste of my time.
