MODEL ADOPTION #2056: REJECT — LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Min confirmations >= 6 — improves win rate from 31.9% to 42.0% — E8 Intelligence Research

DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: No element survives as specified. The "min confirmations ≥ 6" filter is a statistical artifact, not an E8-geometry edge. It does not align with the rhythm logic (Gods-Clock) that defines entry timing — confirmations are a lagging indicator, not a phase-aligned trigger. Applying it globally would break the temporal alignment between signal generation and execution, which is the core of the live model's edge. EXPECTED IMPACT: Win rate might rise ~10pp in backtest, but profit per trade would likely fall because the filter removes early entries that capture the full FADE move — the very volatility that E8 exploits. Over 3–6 months, expect total profit flat or lower, with reduced trade count and higher per-trade variance. The 42% win rate is meaningless if average R drops below current levels. RISK: Over-filtering kills high-conviction breakouts (XAUUSD, GBPUSD) that only confirm after 6 candles. It also interacts poorly with wkjudas and sqz signals, which Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com
