00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.963
Welcome to Filtrix Execution Analysis.

00:00:03.497 --> 00:00:05.935
Context describes the historical sample.

00:00:06.562 --> 00:00:10.684
Execution tests a specific entry and exit rule using intraday bars.

00:00:11.311 --> 00:00:15.316
In this walkthrough, you will choose a saved context, configure

00:00:15.316 --> 00:00:19.299
a small preview, and review both the summary and individual trades.

00:00:20.030 --> 00:00:23.467
These are historical simulations, not live orders.

00:00:24.067 --> 00:00:27.028
Open Execution and select your saved context.

00:00:27.562 --> 00:00:31.718
Start with twenty-five or fifty pairs so the first run is easy to

00:00:31.718 --> 00:00:32.345
inspect.

00:00:32.972 --> 00:00:37.372
Each pair is one symbol and trading date, not necessarily one completed

00:00:37.372 --> 00:00:37.929
trade.

00:00:38.661 --> 00:00:42.735
A rule may never trigger, or usable price data may be unavailable.

00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.287
Use a context saved with All rows, and avoid selecting the sample

00:00:47.287 --> 00:00:49.191
by its future closing outcome.

00:00:49.800 --> 00:00:53.515
In Strategy Configuration, choose the timeframe and side.

00:00:54.049 --> 00:00:57.207
A one-minute timeframe is a straightforward starting point.

00:00:57.741 --> 00:01:01.747
For a simple baseline, choose Long and Open at zero nine thirty.

00:01:02.374 --> 00:01:06.831
Other entries include Green to Red, Red to Green, and Bar Break.

00:01:07.458 --> 00:01:10.906
Green to Red looks for a completed bar closing below the regular

00:01:10.906 --> 00:01:13.461
open; Red to Green looks above it.

00:01:14.088 --> 00:01:16.642
Choose the rule before examining the results.

00:01:17.267 --> 00:01:18.498
Choose an Exit Rule.

00:01:18.962 --> 00:01:23.142
Close at sixteen hundred uses the end of the available regular session.

00:01:23.769 --> 00:01:27.658
Hold Minutes lets you enter a holding period, such as thirty minutes.

00:01:28.285 --> 00:01:32.836
Stop Loss and Take Profit use percentage inputs: enter one for a

00:01:32.836 --> 00:01:36.145
one-percent stop and two for a two-percent target.

00:01:36.772 --> 00:01:40.742
These values are an interface example, not a recommended strategy.

00:01:41.369 --> 00:01:43.738
Trading times are shown in Eastern Time.

00:01:44.367 --> 00:01:45.424
Select Preview.

00:01:45.888 --> 00:01:50.009
Filtrix first prepares or reuses the required minute data, then

00:01:50.009 --> 00:01:51.635
simulates your selected rules.

00:01:52.262 --> 00:01:55.222
Follow the pipeline status and wait for the run to finish.

00:01:55.954 --> 00:01:57.765
Stop cancels an active run.

00:01:58.299 --> 00:02:02.920
If the result contains no trades, check your context, data availability,

00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.973
and entry conditions before assuming the strategy failed.

00:02:06.705 --> 00:02:10.234
The requested pair count and the completed trade count can differ.

00:02:10.867 --> 00:02:16.057
Read Trades, Win rate, Profit Factor, and Total P and L together.

00:02:16.684 --> 00:02:21.432
Profit Factor compares gross gains with gross losses; below one

00:02:21.432 --> 00:02:23.452
means losses exceeded gains.

00:02:24.184 --> 00:02:28.653
In this simulator, P and L is the price change per share, with the

00:02:28.653 --> 00:02:30.917
direction adjusted for Long or Short.

00:02:31.381 --> 00:02:34.679
Total P and L adds those values across trades.

00:02:35.213 --> 00:02:39.775
It is not a portfolio return and does not include commissions, slippage,

00:02:39.775 --> 00:02:41.192
or position sizing.

00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:46.049
Below the summary, select a trade row or its symbol to open the chart.

00:02:46.781 --> 00:02:51.204
Check the entry and exit markers, timestamps, and surrounding bars.

00:02:51.936 --> 00:02:55.813
Inspect losing and unusual trades as carefully as winning ones.

00:02:56.545 --> 00:02:59.888
Price bars cannot reproduce every detail of a live fill.

00:03:00.352 --> 00:03:04.195
A strong summary is useful only when the individual trades make

00:03:04.195 --> 00:03:06.134
sense under the rule you selected.

00:03:06.767 --> 00:03:11.272
For the next run, keep the context, pair count, side, and timeframe

00:03:11.272 --> 00:03:13.164
fixed, and change one rule.

00:03:13.791 --> 00:03:17.576
Record the result, then validate the idea on another date period

00:03:17.576 --> 00:03:19.132
before drawing conclusions.

00:03:19.863 --> 00:03:24.170
Start small, inspect the trades, and only then expand the sample.

00:03:24.635 --> 00:03:27.746

00:03:27.746 --> 00:03:29.244
