Several filters may each appear useful when tested independently, but their combination might remove too many opportunities or create unexpected results. How do you assess the interaction between filters? Would you test each filter separately before evaluating the complete strategy?

To assess how filters interact, it is best to test each filter separately first to isolate its individual edge, and then evaluate them together in a complete strategy. Combining filters often creates unexpected results, such as over-filtering or severely reducing your trade frequency, which can hurt your expectancy.
When trading on a prop firm account, this interaction is even more critical. Over-filtering can lower your win rate and make it difficult to meet consistency rules or profit targets within your daily loss limits. Always backtest the combined system across different market regimes before risking real capital.
