Ok EK1, thanks.

BTW, your avatar is kinda spooky but captivating. Lol.

Bluewave, you've got confused - the +/- 0.5% is based on the previous week's Friday's close, not the end of week Friday close. Hence the point scoring for shrenickshah and tradingintime was correct after all.

Sharky, is the +/- 0.5% for the SAME direction working properly? 0.5% + 10461 (Friday's close) = 10513. Therefore "shrenickshah" (10495) and "tradingintime" (10501) should have got their points as they both predicted SAME.

Also last week, "Joules_MM1" guessed DOWN with a value of 10174. That's 2.82% from the Dow close, yet points were still awarded because he guessed the right direction. This seems unfair on those that were closer to the close but got the direction wrong. I think there's too much weight put on the direction rather than the actual value guessed.

Oops, sorry Sharky. Thanks for clarification. Got the wrong end of the stick as usual!
