English term
sample
A strategy that buys, and then rolls, one-month, at-the-money S&P 500 put options performs well in each of the seven crises.
However, it is very costly during the ‘normal’ times, which constitute 86% of our sample, and as such seems too expensive to be a viable crisis hedge.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Somewhere else, in the preceding text, must be the description of this sample, i.e. what was included in it and/or on the basis of which criteria.
Looks like they collected their sample from trading histories of various stock exchange traders.

86% of selected "records of trading history" related to "normal times" while the remaining 14% was about trading in"crisis times"
| Thank you very much. I thought it had a special meaning in the financial context, but looks like it's not. Thanks! |
