Entry rules
- Long when close crosses above PDH AND SuperTrend state = +1.
- Short when close crosses below PDL AND SuperTrend state = -1.
- Enter long when RSI(14) prints below 30 — the textbook oversold threshold.
- Only one position at a time; the cooldown blocks immediate re-entry after an exit.
Exit rules
- Opposite-side breakout closes the trade — momentum has flipped.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
- Close the position when RSI(14) recovers above 70.
- Hard stop-loss at 3% below entry; take-profit at 5%.
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.
Choppy zig-zag equity curve with frequent small wins and the occasional outlier loss when a sharp downtrend leaves RSI pinned in the oversold zone. Fits range-bound chop; struggles in strong directional regimes.
