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.
- Long on the bar a bullish FVG opens (bull_signal > 0).
- Short on a bearish FVG.
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.
- Position closes the bar the gap is filled (rebalanced).
- 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.
Momentum-into-imbalance — fires on explosive bars, exits when the imbalance reverts. Equity curve is choppy with frequent small trades; works best when price respects imbalances and gives the bot a chance to ride the displacement.
