Entry rules

Expected behavior
Range-friendly. Frequent small trades when price oscillates between equal-highs and equal-lows pools; can stack losses in strong trends that take out structure cleanly without reversing.
Cleaner than a vanilla PDH/PDL bot — the SuperTrend filter cuts counter-trend breakouts that fizzle. Fewer trades but better quality; sits out range days where prior-range breaks fail.
