Editor notes
Not ideal when
- The crop base value is too low to justify the extra chase time
- You need stable short-session returns more than peak upside
- A simpler mutation already solves the same job with less variance
Editor notes
Chase when
- The crop is already premium
- You are in a real late-route session

Editor notes
Skip when
- You need stable short-session returns
