IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Phase distance TIGHT (<=2deg) — improves win rate from 31.2% to 35.8% (+4.7pp, n=452) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying a tight phase-distance filter (≤2°) would have eliminated the three losing rizzy5m trades (GBPUSD 1.34508, XAUUSD 4051.79, and the USDJPY wkjudas loss is outside the filter's scope). It would also have removed the rejected USDCHF trade (which is open, not a win). The remaining six trades (four wins, one loss, one win) would shift the live window win rate from 6/10 (60%) to 5/6 (83%) — a +23pp improvement, but the sample is tiny and the filter would have blocked two winners (XAUUSD LONG 4270.17 and AUDUSD LONG) if their phase distance exceeded 2°, which is plausible given the 5m/7m entry variance. Net PnL delta is likely positive but not reliably measurable from this window alone. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: Over 3–6 months, a tight phase filter typically reduces trade frequency by 30–50%, whi Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
