Simulation analysis demonstrates that enforcing a minimum six-confirmation filter raises trade win rate from 31.7% to 41.4%, suggesting improved performance via false signal reduction.
IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Min confirmations >= 6 — improves win rate from 31.7% to 41.4% (+9.8pp, n=326) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying a minimum 6-confirmation filter would have rejected the EURUSD SHORT (rizzy, loss) and the GBPUSD LONG (wkjudas, loss) — both had fewer than 6 confirmations. The USDCAD LONG, GBPUSD SHORT, USDCHF SHORT, and USDJPY LONG all had ≥6 confirmations and would have remained, preserving their wins. This would have shifted the live window from 4 wins, 2 losses, 4 open/rejected to 4 wins, 0 losses, 4 open/rejected — a theoretical 100% win rate on closed trades, but the small sample (n=6 closed) makes the +9.8pp backtest improvement plausible. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: Over 3-6 months, the filter should reduce false signals by requiring broader consensus, lifting win rate from ~32% toward ~41% as backtested. However, it will also reject some winning trades with low confirmations, capping total trade count an Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
