IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Pool density HIGH (>=90) — improves win rate from 32.5% to 34.0% (+1.5pp, n=1808) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying the pool-density filter (>=90) to the 10 live trades above would have excluded only those signals generated when pool density was below threshold. Given the backtest delta (+1.5pp win rate), roughly 1–2 of the 10 trades would likely have been filtered out — most plausibly the two losses from rizzy5m (NZDUSD and XAUUSD) if their density readings were low. This would have removed two losing trades, improving the window's win rate from 3/10 to 3/8 (37.5%) and reducing net PnL bleed. However, the filter could also have excluded a winner (e.g., GBPUSD SHORT via rizzy5m), so the net PnL delta is uncertain but likely positive given the backtest edge. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: Over 3–6 months, a +1.5pp win-rate improvement on ~1,800 trades translates to roughly 27 additional winning trades, but the PnL Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
