published rank (v6.2, negated so better rank = higher) vs price, all 2107 prints: ρ = 0.441
  deposit-carrying prints only (1753): ρ = 0.448
reading: a positive ρ says the ORDER of the ranking tracks the order of prices; the size of ρ is the strength of that tracking on these prints. It identifies neither alpha nor y (the review's point) — it says whether the ranking orders the market at all, and whether sum or max orders it better.
