Sample ARBLab Results (abridged and sanitised)

Please find below a list of selected results from ARBLab.  Please keep in mind that all Consulting/Research projects are fee based, so the sample results are generally dramatically shortened and sanitised (these are all real world trading/analysis results, but the specifics of contracts, markets and certain other factors have been "disguised").
