Expected behavior

Intraday classic — fires on the first decisive break of yesterday's range. Strong in trend days, choppy when price oscillates around the PDH/PDL.

Trend-friendly equity curve — clean in directional regimes, whipsaws in chop. The 10/3.0 default fires frequently on intraday timeframes and less often on daily candles.
