00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:01.535
Welcome to Filtrix.

00:00:02.267 --> 00:00:06.179
In this walkthrough, you will build a Context Analysis, read its

00:00:06.179 --> 00:00:10.336
historical results, and save the sample for Execution Analysis.

00:00:11.067 --> 00:00:15.455
Start with one question: when a clearly defined setup appeared before,

00:00:15.455 --> 00:00:17.034
where did those days close?

00:00:18.393 --> 00:00:20.773
Context describes historical outcomes.

00:00:21.063 --> 00:00:23.513
It does not simulate your entry or exit.

00:00:24.133 --> 00:00:26.072
Open Context in the navigation.

00:00:26.536 --> 00:00:30.751
Use Add Filter, then choose a column, an operator, and a value.

00:00:31.215 --> 00:00:35.592
For a first exercise, use one familiar symbol, or define a broader

00:00:35.592 --> 00:00:38.529
pattern with price, gap, and volume conditions.

00:00:39.063 --> 00:00:40.921
Keep the setup easy to explain.

00:00:41.212 --> 00:00:44.381
For an intraday test, use only information that would have been

00:00:44.381 --> 00:00:46.750
available before your intended entry.

00:00:47.367 --> 00:00:51.210
In Analysis Parameters, choose a date range and the In-range Band.

00:00:51.941 --> 00:00:55.668
Close position is the close minus the day's low, divided by the

00:00:55.668 --> 00:00:57.444
day's high minus its low.

00:00:58.071 --> 00:01:00.370
Zero is the low; one is the high.

00:01:00.997 --> 00:01:05.107
With a band from zero point five to zero point eight, closes between

00:01:05.107 --> 00:01:08.068
fifty and eighty percent of the daily range are in range.

00:01:08.532 --> 00:01:10.947
This is not a fifty to eighty percent return.

00:01:11.411 --> 00:01:12.909
Select Run Analysis.

00:01:13.533 --> 00:01:16.064
Read the sample counts before the percentages.

00:01:16.598 --> 00:01:19.663
Total found in history counts matching alert records.

00:01:20.290 --> 00:01:25.480
Included in calculation, n, counts usable symbol and date examples

00:01:25.480 --> 00:01:28.974
after duplicate symbol-days and unusable outcomes are removed.

00:01:29.705 --> 00:01:32.515
A difference between these numbers deserves attention.

00:01:33.142 --> 00:01:38.018
A large n alone does not prove an edge: check whether a few symbols,

00:01:38.018 --> 00:01:41.304
dates, or market conditions dominate the sample.

00:01:41.933 --> 00:01:45.370
Above range means the close finished above the upper boundary.

00:01:45.996 --> 00:01:49.003
Below range means it finished below the lower boundary.

00:01:49.630 --> 00:01:51.546
In range includes the boundaries.

00:01:52.010 --> 00:01:56.875
Within each bucket, Up, Down, and Equal compare the regular close

00:01:56.875 --> 00:01:58.164
with the regular open.

00:01:58.895 --> 00:02:02.320
Those percentages describe that bucket, not the whole sample.

00:02:02.854 --> 00:02:06.825
Above range is a location in the daily range, not a trade win rate.

00:02:07.433 --> 00:02:09.500
Next, inspect the Preview rows.

00:02:09.836 --> 00:02:14.074
Check the dates, symbols, opening and closing prices, and percentage

00:02:14.074 --> 00:02:14.771
changes.

00:02:15.397 --> 00:02:19.577
Look for repeated names, unusual observations, and conditions that

00:02:19.577 --> 00:02:21.435
do not match your original question.

00:02:22.166 --> 00:02:25.301
Use another date period to check whether the pattern holds up.

00:02:25.928 --> 00:02:29.399
Changing filters until one historical result looks attractive can

00:02:29.399 --> 00:02:30.699
overfit the sample.

00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:35.143
Give the context a descriptive name and select Save Analysis.

00:02:35.677 --> 00:02:38.788
For an execution test, keep the save mode on All.

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:43.490
Selecting only Above range or Below range uses the day's eventual

00:02:43.490 --> 00:02:47.763
result to select the sample, which can bias an intraday backtest.

00:02:48.495 --> 00:02:51.606
The export selector is separate from the save selector.

00:02:52.070 --> 00:02:55.635
Keep a record of the filters and dates used for each comparison.

00:02:56.267 --> 00:03:00.005
You now have a defined sample and a clear description of its historical

00:03:00.005 --> 00:03:00.748
closes.

00:03:01.480 --> 00:03:06.147
Use Execution Analysis to ask the next question: how would a specific

00:03:06.147 --> 00:03:09.270
entry and exit rule have behaved on these symbol-days?

00:03:10.002 --> 00:03:12.695
Open the next tutorial to follow that workflow.

00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:16.933
Historical patterns are a starting point for research, not a promise

00:03:16.933 --> 00:03:18.233
about the next trade.
