FILTRIX Tutorial

How to Run Execution Analysis

Use a saved FILTRIX context to preview intraday execution rules: choose pairs, timeframe, side, entry and exit logic, then review the strategy summary and trade charts.

What You Will Learn

Choose the saved context you want to test.
Set pairs to simulate, timeframe, and long or short side.
Configure entry and exit rules that match your real plan.
Read Trades, Win rate, Profit Factor, Total PnL, and per-trade charts.

Before You Start

At least one saved Context Analysis run.
A clear long or short thesis.
A practical entry and exit idea you would actually trade.

Set up the run: context, pairs, timeframe, and side

The saved context defines the historical date and symbol pairs that can be simulated. Start with a modest pair count like 25 or 50 so you can inspect the result quickly before running a larger preview. Timeframe controls how one-minute bars are grouped before the rule is tested. Side controls whether PnL is calculated as a long trade or a short trade — the same context can look very different when you change either one.

Action: Choose the saved context, set Pairs to simulate, then pick the timeframe and side that match the trade you would actually take.

Configure entry and exit rules

Entry Rule decides where the simulated trade begins: Green to Red, Red to Green, Open at 09:30, or Bar Break. Exit Rule decides where it ends: Close at 16:00, Hold Minutes, or Stop Loss / Take Profit.

Action: Avoid testing a rule just because it looks good. Use the rule that matches your planned execution.

Run Preview and wait for the pipeline

Preview starts a two-part pipeline. First FILTRIX prepares or reuses the required one-minute data for the selected pairs. Then it runs the execution simulation. The progress panel shows what is being downloaded, reused, inserted, or simulated.

Action: Click Preview, wait for hydration and simulation to finish, or use Stop if you need to cancel.

Review the strategy summary and trade rows

The Strategy Summary shows Trades, Wins, Losses, Win rate, Profit Factor, Total PnL, average PnL, and holding time. The rows show each simulated trade. Click a row to open the chart and see the entry and exit in context.

Action: Judge the full distribution, not one headline number. Then inspect individual charts before trusting the setup.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Do not run ALL pairs first. Start small, inspect, then scale up.
Do not read Win rate without Trades, Profit Factor, Total PnL, and Avg Loss.
Do not assume a strong Context Analysis result automatically means the execution rule works.
Do not compare strategies unless the side, timeframe, pair count, and context are the same.
