Hi again,
This will be released in a little while, where you can override the global settings for Nicehash / Zpool / MPH per Managed Profit Miner. Can you please test the feature and give feedback?

Thanks for the feature add; I just updated and it seems all is functioning as intended. I will continue to monitor and let you know of any issues.

Question regarding zpool profitability numbers: is there any particular reason the '24h actual' reported value isn't used for the actual profitability of the algo? Frequently I'll see zpool algos at, say, $7/day, but when factoring in the 24h actual, the return is much lower. What is the intent here? Which number is most accurate? In example, at time of posting, zpool Hmq1725 reports a BTC/GH/day of .09475, but the 24h actual is .08012. I don't want a situation where I'm mining something reportedly as the top algo but in reality is halfway down the list.

That's kind of the knock on profit switching in general. When a coin jumps to the top, thousands of miner's profit switching algos switch to it, spiking the difficulty, thus knocking the coin back down the list. In the meantime, depending on how often your profit switching algo checks, it will keep on mining the "not as profitable" coin. Then you have to wait for the auto-conversion from the pool which can take many many minutes to hours, and by that time the coin has tanked in value... so you actually get less BTC than you would have just mining the coin and holding or waiting and manually changing to BTC.

I personally feel it's better to look at a coin's average... maybe 24 hours is a good indicator, but I prefer longer averages to the tune of 3 days to a week. You will get much more consistent profits by mining a coin that stays popular at #3 all week than trying to chase coins that tank before you can see the profits. It's kind of counter-intuitive. I'm hoping Patrike can add some more customization in determining the parameters on how the profit switching works. Whattomine.com already has parameters to look at 24 hour, 2 day, and 3 day averages.
