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.
- Short on an EQH sweep — the stop-hunt fades and sellers step in.
- Long on an EQL sweep.
Exit rules
- SuperTrend regime flips through zero in either direction — the framework routes the matching exit to the active position.
- 4% trailing stop locks in the run; 2-bar cooldown after exit.
- Opposite-direction sweep closes the trade — that's the next liquidity event.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
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.
Range-friendly. Frequent small trades when price oscillates between equal-highs and equal-lows pools; can stack losses in strong trends that take out structure cleanly without reversing.
