Expected behavior
Cleaner than a vanilla PDH/PDL bot — the SuperTrend filter cuts counter-trend breakouts that fizzle. Fewer trades but better quality; sits out range days where prior-range breaks fail.
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.
