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 a bullish OB retest (bull_retest > 0).
  • Short on a bearish OB retest.

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.
  • Position closes when the OB is mitigated (price closes through the opposite edge).
  • An opposite-side OB retest also invalidates the trade.
  • 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.

Selective β€” OBs are sparse and retests are rarer still. The strategy spends most of the time flat and produces concentrated trades around real structure flips.
