LAB #2234 PROMISING: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Phase distance TIGHT (<=2deg) — improves win rate from 31.8% to 36.1% (+ — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Phase distance TIGHT (<=2deg) — improves win rate from 31.8% to 36.1% (+4.2pp, n=424) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying the phase-distance TIGHT (≤2deg) filter to the current 10-trade window would have eliminated the three XAUUSD SHORT losses (entries at 4048.74, 4051.79, 4066.35) and likely the GBPUSD SHORT loss (1.34508) if their phase distances exceeded 2deg — but it would also have removed the AUDUSD LONG win and possibly the EURJPY LONG win, depending on their phase geometry. Net effect on this small sample: removing 3-4 losses and 1-2 wins yields a raw win-rate shift from 5/10 to roughly 4/6 or 5/7, which is directionally consistent with the backtest (+4.2pp) but statistically meaningless at n=10. PnL delta is ambiguous because the XAUUSD losses are likely larger than the AUDUSD win, so expect a modest positive PnL shift, but the USDJPY open trade remains unverified.
