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.
Slow oscillator — fewer trades than a price-based crossover, but each one is volume-confirmed. Equity curve is patient: long quiet stretches punctuated by participation surges.
