Expected behavior

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

Cleaner than vanilla SuperTrend β€” 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.
