For me the amount of EV I'm running off (accumulating) tells me where I should be. I'm a 20K winner in Town A and I'm only a 15K winner in town B. In Town A I'm running off (accumulating) $400 a day in EV. In Town B I'm running off $600 a day in EV. Which town should I spend more time in? If I go by results I will come up with the wrong answer.

The reason I'm spending so much time out of state these days is because I'm running off (accumulating) twice the amount of EV out of state than in state. In other words the opportunity is currently much better out of state.

You can also use your track record to plan financially.
