Entry rules

  • Long-side ladder: close crosses down through any of the three Fib levels while Blackflag state = +1 (uptrend).
  • Short-side ladder mirrors above the Fib levels while state = -1.
  • First trigger wins; the trailing stop handles re-entry cadence.
  • Enter long when close is below the lower Bollinger band β€” a 2Οƒ stretch below the 20-bar mean.
  • Single position; 3-bar cooldown after exit.

Exit rules

  • SuperTrend regime flips through zero in either direction β€” the framework routes the matching exit to the active position.
  • 4% trailing stop locks in the run; 2-bar cooldown after exit.
  • Exit when close pushes back above the middle band.
  • Hard 3% stop-loss; 2% trailing stop locks in any reversion gain.

Expected behavior

Calm during chop because no regime is established; bursts of activity when a clean trend prints and price wicks into the Fib zone. Pullback re-entries cluster around the trail line, so the equity curve looks like staircase steps inside each trend leg.

Smooth equity curve in low-volatility regimes with frequent small wins. Sharp drawdowns when a trend extends and price stays pinned below the lower band β€” the strategy expects mean reversion that may not arrive.
