There was a a past strategy with cleanness of dot plot for static designs. The first switch lab we made, many designs had ugly and messy dot plots. But for our MS2 switches, the trend is going towards surprisingly clean dot plots - of cause more messier than the average good static design but still. So this strategy may still be useful.

And I want to add this detail:

Dot plot is mostly much more identical for each triangle in State 1 than State 2. And the state 1 structure often stays shown for state 2. As below:

[![](https://d2he8ud106d9gn.cloudfront.net/original/1X/5437b965486cfed47dd563128dcc6a51695a3e5f.png)](https://d2r1vs3d9006ap.cloudfront.net/s3_images/1221838/Dotplottrends.png?1434475507)

Only for full moving switches, the trend switch a bit more towards ugly dots and more towards a state 2 match - where the lines of state 2 turns more visible in the state 1 plot.

For partial switches  
Give 3 + if there is somewhat well match between State 1 top and bottom triangle  
Decrese score the more present state 2 is present in state 1 prediction.

For full moving switches  
Give + 1 if some of the state 2 prediction turns up in the state 1 estimate. (Top triangle)

(This goes for when looked at in both energy models.)

Dear Eli Fisker,  
&nbsp;  
Your strategy has been added to our implementation queue and we should have it completed within the next two to three weeks. You can check the status of the implementation [here](https://github.com/vineetsk1/Switch-Strategies/issues/28).

We will also be uploading the code used to write your strategy on this [page](https://github.com/vineetsk1/Switch-Strategies) if you are interested in reading it later.

After implementing your idea, we will post the direct link to the code here. Then, we will then optimize the parameters, and test it. At that point, we will tell you the correlation of how good your strategy was and what the new optimized parameters are.

Thanks for sharing your idea!

Dear Eli Fisker,

I am pleased to announce that a preliminary version of your strategy has been implemented with 40 lines of code. The code might slightly change in the future to remove bugs, but you can check the current version [here](https://github.com/vineetsk1/Switch-Strategies/blob/master/eli_fisker_dot_plot.py "Link https//githubcom/vineetsk1/Switch-Strategies/blob/master/eli\_fisker\_dot\_plotpy"). We will soon work on optimizing your parameters and testing the strategy.

Thank you again for sharing your switch strategy!
