May be another question is what filter you did well most of the time, like 80% or better?

[/quote]Having one filter that works well 80% or better is ok. Having 4 filters that work well 80% or better sounds even better until you look at the 4 filters together. For the 5/39 that I work with my number 1 filter is WNH StdDev Differences set at 9/18, 100% pass in the last 28 drawings. My number 2 filter is all of Joes filters that work with pick 5 placed together in a compound filter 27 passed out of the last 28 draws 96%. My number 3 filter is a custom segments filter using the segment combinations filter 26 passed out of the last 28 draws, 93%. My number 4 filter is a custom compound using segment combination filter removing repeat end pairs and repeat triples 23 passed out of the last 28 draws, 82%. Looks pretty good filter at a time but, if you put them all together the passing percentage rate is 79%.
The point being is that the more filters that you use the chances of all of the filters passing at the same time drops. The thing to look for is the filters that not only work well but work well with other filters.
