IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Min confirmations >= 6 — improves win rate from 31.5% to 35.6% (+4.1pp, n=915) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying a minimum of 6 confirmations would have filtered out the two REJECTED/open trades (EURJPY SHORT and AUDUSD LONG) — both of which are currently unresolved and would have been excluded from the live book. Among the remaining 8 closed trades, the filter would not have removed any winners (4 wins) or losers (4 losses), so the win rate in this window would remain unchanged at 50%. The only PnL delta is the avoidance of two open positions that are currently in limbo, which reduces exposure but does not improve realized win rate here. Net effect on this small sample: neutral, with a slight reduction in open risk. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: Over 3–6 months, a +4.1pp win-rate improvement from n=915 backtests suggests a real but modest edge, likely by cutting low-conviction entries that fail early.
