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 when close crosses above the prior day's high.
- Short when close crosses below the prior day's low.
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-side breakout closes the trade.
- 4% trailing stop, 2-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.
Intraday classic — fires on the first decisive break of yesterday's range. Strong in trend days, choppy when price oscillates around the PDH/PDL.
