Entry rules
- Long when BOTH trend20 = +1 AND trend100 = +1.
- Short when BOTH trend20 = -1 AND trend100 = -1.
- 8-bar cooldown after exit.
- Long when price is inside the discount zone (current_zone = +1).
- Short when price is inside the premium zone (current_zone = -1).
Exit rules

- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
- Position closes when price returns to equilibrium.
- 4% trailing stop, 5-bar cooldown.
Expected behavior
Trend follower with patience. Long flat periods when the two timeframes disagree, then steady runs when the slow regime turns and the fast one confirms. Drawdowns are deeper because exits wait for chop, not a clean flip.
Range trader — fits balanced markets where extremes get bought / faded back to mid. Stacks losses in strong trends that camp at one extreme for many bars.
