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.
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.
