Algorithmic evaluation demonstrates high overfitting risk and trade volume reduction in small-sample USDCHF filtering, suggesting rejection of the proposed entry rule.
DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The filter "USDCHF LONG @ NY_OPEN with 6 conf" is too narrow (n=16, single pair, single session) and lacks E8 geometry timing alignment — it does not reference Gods-Clock rhythm, FADE polarity, or node-specific entry logic. The win-rate jump is likely overfit to a small sample; a single trade flip changes the result by ~6pp. EXPECTED IMPACT: Negligible to negative — even if win rate holds, the filter would eliminate nearly all USDCHF trades, reducing total trade count and net PnL. The 6-conf condition is not a concrete, testable edge compatible with E8's existing rhythm logic. RISK: Overfitting to a specific pair/session regime; missed opportunities from overly restrictive filtering; model degradation from adding a non-E8 rule that conflicts with the existing FADE polarity and node timing. TEST: Before any reconsideration, run a shadow test on the live model for 60 trading days: log all USDCHF LONG signals at NY_OPEN with 6 conf, track outcomes separat Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
