I keep skipping trades on purpose, curious if this makes sense to others

I’ve been trading for a while and noticed something uncomfortable:
most of my losses don’t come from bad analysis, but from forcing marginal setups.
When i have just some of my indicator align I already enter the trade, since it feels like ‘enough’

So I built something for myself that does one thing only:
it blocks me from taking trades unless the confluence is genuinely strong.
No signals, no buy/sell, just a hard filter that tells me this is probably noise.

It is really working for me now, and I want to know if that is one off or real.

I’m now letting a very small number of traders use this privately.
Not looking to scale it or hype it, I mostly want to see:

1. do others struggle with the same overtrading problem?
2. does filtering feel more useful than finding entries?

If this resonates, happy to explain how I’m doing it or show it.
Not posting links here on purpose, I’d rather talk first.
