This filtering process uses a 'Number Group' to specify the number(s) you want to analyze for followers. A Complex Filter is then setup with several 'Statistical Filter' and 'Match Numbers' filters using that Number Group.
Step 1. Setup the Number Group(s).
- Main menu; Tools -> Number Groups -> in the Number Groups tab click on the '+' symbol to create a new number group.
- Number of groups: [2]
- Type of groups: 'Number ranges'
- Group 1 Begins at :[1] Ends at: [1]
- Group 2 Begins at :[1] Ends at: [1]
- Click 'Next'
- Name: 'Number 1'
- Show in: check all...
- Click 'Finish'
The number group is created under the Number Groups tab. This group will represent ticket number 1.
Note: Two number groups are required by this feature, but it won't affect the filter results.
Step 2. Create a new Complex Filter. The text example below is similar to what you will see in the complex filter window(excluding the step numbers).
[-] Ticket Number 1 Followers..............| accept | Min to pass: 1 (1.)
....[-] Filter Group 1..........................| accept | All must pass (2.)
.......... Statistical Filter......................| accept | Number Groups Distribution - Number 1: Occurrence > 0 (1 latest draws) (3.)
.......... Match Numbers......................| accept | match: 1 numbers from 1 (4.)
....[-] Filter Group 2..........................| accept | All must pass (5.)
.......... Statistical Filter......................| reject | Number Groups Distribution - Number 1: Occurrence > 0 (1 latest draws) (6.)
.......... Match Numbers......................| reject | match: 1 numbers from 1 (7.)
1. File -> New -> Complex Filter, then in the upper right click on 'Add group'. At the bottom of the group's window in the "Name:" field , name this filter group "Ticket Number 1 Followers".
2. Click on the 'Ticket Number 1 Followers' group, then click on 'Add group'. This will add a sub-filter group below the first. In the sub-filter group's "Name:" field at the bottom, name this sub-filter group "Filter Group 1".
3. Click on 'Filter Group 1', then click on 'Add filter'. In the 'Available Filters:' list, select the 'Statistical Filter' and click the 'Select' button. Set the following filter conditions...
- Matching Tickets: Accept.
- Winning Numbers: 1 latest draws.
- Analyze: Number Groups Distribution | Number 1.
- Select 'Match any of the following'.
- Occurrence | > | 0.
4. Click on 'Filter Group 1', then click on 'Add filter'. In the 'Available Filters:' list, select 'Match Numbers' and click the 'Select' button. Set the following filter conditions...
- Matching Tickets: Accept
- Match Count: check mark number 1 only.
- Numbers: select [x] mark ticket number 1 only.
5. Click on 'Filter Group 1', then use 'Ctrl + C'. Then click on the 'Ticket Number 1 Followers' group, then use 'Ctrl + V'. This will add a second copy of the sub-filter group. In the sub-filter group's "Name:" field at the bottom, name this sub-filter group "Filter Group 2". This extra sub-filter group is needed to accept ticket number 1 as a follower.
6. Click on 'Filter Group 2', and in the 'Statistical Filter' and 'Match Numbers' filter, set them both to > Matching Tickets: Reject.
7. Click on the 'Ticket Number 1 Followers' group and set the 'Minimum count of filters to pass: [1]' and 'Maximum count of filters to pass: [2]'.
After setting up the complex filter, save it by using File -> Save, or use Ctrl + S while in the complex filter tab.
Note: The statistical filter's accept or reject draws that have the same number group. So in the complex filter Statistical Filter's above, if you select 'Winning Numbers: 5 latest draws' and 'Reject', then it will accept draws that have ticket number 1, but only if the previous 5 draws do not have ticket number 1.

Step 3. Back-test and analyze the accepted draws ticket numbers.
- Now right-click on the top most group 'Ticket Number 1 Followers' and select 'Back-test' in the drop down menu.
- When the back-test is finished, down at the bottom left of that window, click on the 'Show accepted draws only' button. This button hides/shows the rejected draws.
- Then just to the right of the 'Show accepted draws only' button click on 'Analyze'. When the rejected draws are hidden, this button will only analyze the accepted back-test draws.
- In the 'Ticket Analyzer' window list, check mark 'Ticket Numbers' and click 'Finish'.
The 'Ticket Numbers' statistics table will display the ticket numbers that occurred from the accepted draws. If you sort the 'Occurrence' column in this table you can see which ticket numbers had the highest or lowest occurrences following a ticket containing the number 1. In the EL Demo 6/49 Lotto, the ticket number 1 was followed by; 17 & 36(24 occurrences) 39 & 48(21 occurrences) and 34(20 occurrences)...etc.
---------
For two or more numbers(pairs, triplets, quads etc.) you must add a new main or root group at the top of the complex filter hierarchy to support more than one number group.
Text example below is similar to what the complex filter for pairs followers will show;
[-] Number Pairs 1 - 2 Followers........... | accept | All must pass (<- This is the main or root group.)
.... [-] Number Group 1..................... | accept | Min to pass: 1 (<- This is the group for ticket number 1)
......... [-] Filter Group 1................... | accept | All must pass
............. Statistical Filter.................. | accept | Number Groups Distribution - Number 1: Occurrence > 0 (1 latest draws)
............. Match Numbers.................. | accept | match: 1 numbers from 1
......... [-] Filter Group 2................... | accept | All must pass
............. Statistical Filter................... | reject | Number Groups Distribution - Number 1: Occurrence > 0 (1 latest draws)
............. Match Numbers................... | reject | match: 1 numbers from 1
.... [-] Number Group 2...................... | accept | Min to pass: 1 (<- This is the group for ticket number 2)
......... [-] Filter Group 1.................... | accept | All must pass
............. Statistical Filter................... | accept | Number Groups Distribution - Number 2: Occurrence > 0 (1 latest draws)
............. Match Numbers................... | accept | match: 1 numbers from 2
......... [-] Filter Group 2.................... | accept | All must pass
............. Statistical Filter.................... | reject | Number Groups Distribution - Number 2: Occurrence > 0 (1 latest draws)
............. Match Numbers.................... | reject | match: 1 numbers from 2
Once the complex filter is saved to a file, it is just a matter of changing the filter conditions or copy and pasting new filter groups for analyzing/filtering other ticket number followers(etc.). The complex filter can contain many feature components and user preferences, so if there are any questions, suggestions, or corrections, let me know.
. Is there any way you could post some screenshots of the steps that I could follow? Also, I understood that for pairs / triplets it is necessary to create more groups in the number groups tab which I also can't figure very easy. If I have to find the followers for let's say 1, 2, 3 I need 3 groups, each of them in the same manner like the example for Number 1 that you have posted? Thanks a lot. Cheers.
