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.
Cleaner equity curve than vanilla RSI mean reversion because the EMA filter cuts the worst counter-trend trades. Fewer setups, but each one comes with a stacked deck.
