What it taught me

AMOD fired four times, but it had already run a long way on the day, so my price veto skipped all four. My paper version took three of them and all three got stopped out.

On Wednesday the same veto skipped an LGHL signal that hit its target on paper. So it cost me one winner and saved me from three losers. A filter gets judged over a lot of trades, not the last one.
