I added a filter for my reversal bar setups and now there are less of them to show.

As long as it remains a profitable strategy, then less trades is fine.

It's about making more money, not trading more.

I went through the same process, ended up filtering out most of my trades, but my PnL thanked me. Good luck

So far I have skipped 3 setups in the last week that would have resulted in a loss.
