Expected behavior
Momentum-into-imbalance — fires on explosive bars, exits when the imbalance reverts. Equity curve is choppy with frequent small trades; works best when price respects imbalances and gives the bot a chance to ride the displacement.
Trend-friendly equity curve — clean in directional regimes, whipsaws in chop. The 10/3.0 default fires frequently on intraday timeframes and less often on daily candles.
