LAB #4541 NEUTRAL: LEDGER BENCH: Apply filter: Min confirmations >= 5 — improves win rate from 31.5% to 33.0% (+1.4pp, — E8 Intelligence Research

IDEA: Adjustment made to the live model — verify against the backtests: Apply filter: Min confirmations >= 5 — improves win rate from 31.5% to 33.0% (+1.4pp, n=1910) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Applying a minimum of 5 confirmations would have filtered out the two REJECTED/open trades (EURJPY SHORT and AUDUSD LONG) since those were opened with only 5m/7m confirmations and are currently unresolved. Among the remaining 8 closed trades, the filter would not have removed any winners or losers, so the live win rate would remain unchanged at 5 wins out of 8 (62.5%) — no PnL delta in this window. The backtest improvement (+1.4pp) appears to come from excluding low-confidence setups that are not represented in this small live sample, so the immediate effect is neutral. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: Over 3-6 months, requiring ≥5 confirmations should reduce trade frequency by roughly 15-20% while cutting the tail of premature entries that fail early. The expected win-rate gain of ~1.4pp is modest but could com Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series. Platform: e8intelligence.com
