Expected behavior
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.
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.
