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 SuperTrend flips bullish AND VFI is positive.
- Short when SuperTrend flips bearish AND VFI is negative.
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.
- Any SuperTrend flip closes 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.
Cleaner than vanilla SuperTrend — the volume filter cuts the low-conviction flips that fire in chop. Fewer trades, smoother equity curve, occasional missed early-trend entries when volume lags price.
