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 SuperTrend flips bullish AND VFI is positive.
- Short when SuperTrend flips bearish AND VFI is negative.
Exit rules
- Exit immediately when the slower trend100 regime flips to 0 (chop).
- 7% trailing stop on the runner.
- Any SuperTrend flip closes the trade.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-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.
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.
