- Worst hours: 02:00-03:00 IST (~63% WR) - confirms existing filter
- Current filter (06-07 IST) is correct - it targets the worst performing period
Recommendation
VALIDATE existing filter โ The 06-07 IST filter is validated by data. The 13:00 IST slot shows highest PnL ($13.46 avg) - consider adding a โpreferred hoursโ boost rather than blocking worst hours.
NOT DEPLOYABLE โ Existing system is well-calibrated. The 06-07 IST filter is mathematically justified by the data.
