Glad to see it mentioned here. Using a filter with the intent of taking only higher expectancy trades seems sensible, but results in fewer trades. Will the expectancy per trade increase sufficiently to offset the lower trade frequency, smaller historical test sample size and possibly poorer execution?. I don't have an answer, but losing the emotional tie to individual outcomes is definitely easier with higher trade frequencies.
