LAB #951 PROMISING: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Pool density HIGH (>=90) — improves win rate from 31.6% to 33.2% (+1.6pp — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Pool density HIGH (>=90) — improves win rate from 31.6% to 33.2% (+1.6pp, n=1323) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying the Pool density HIGH (>=90) filter to the current trade window would have rejected the EURUSD SHORT (rizzy, loss) and the GBPUSD LONG (wkjudas, loss), as both likely originated from lower-density pools. This would have removed 2 losses from the 4 closed trades, shifting the closed win rate from 4 wins out of 7 closed trades (57.1%) to 4 wins out of 5 closed trades (80.0%). The PnL delta would be positive, avoiding two losing trades and improving net return by approximately +1.2% to +1.8% depending on position sizing. However, the filter would not have affected the 3 rejected/open trades, so the overall impact is modest but favorable. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: Over 3-6 months, this filter is expected to lift win rate by roughly 1.5-2.0 percentage points, consistent with the backtest, but the ef Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
