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 RSI(14) prints below 30 — the textbook oversold threshold.
  • Only one position at a time; the cooldown blocks immediate re-entry after an exit.

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.
  • Close the position when RSI(14) recovers above 70.
  • Hard stop-loss at 3% below entry; take-profit at 5%.

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.

Choppy zig-zag equity curve with frequent small wins and the occasional outlier loss when a sharp downtrend leaves RSI pinned in the oversold zone. Fits range-bound chop; struggles in strong directional regimes.
