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=1917) SAME-WINDOW EFFECT: Over the 10 live trades shown, applying a minimum of 5 confirmations would have filtered out the three REJECTED/open entries (USDCHF, EURJPY, AUDUSD) — all of which are currently unresolved and thus cannot be credited with wins. Among the 7 closed trades, none appear to have been triggered with fewer than 5 confirmations based on the strategy labels (rizzy5m/7m, wkjudas), so the filter would not have removed any of the 4 wins or 3 losses. Net effect on this window: zero PnL change, but it would have eliminated 3 open positions that may still be at risk, slightly reducing exposure without altering realized results. OVER-TIME PROJECTION: The backtest suggests a modest +1.4pp win-rate improvement, but this is likely driven by removing low-conviction early entries that are more prone to noise and early re Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
