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.
Hi @tradethetick , may I enquire what kind of filter do you use? Can you elaborate on it as well?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
The only filter I added was to no longer take reversal bars against a steep trend. Now I look to only take them with the trend if the trend is steep. The trend I look at is in the time frame I am trading.
Hope that answers your question.
