Bias
Long only
Long & short
Market fit
Range-bound
Strong directional trends
Entry rules
- 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.
- Long when SuperTrend flips bullish AND VFI is positive.
- Short when SuperTrend flips bearish AND VFI is negative.
Exit rules
- Close the position when RSI(14) recovers above 70.
- Hard stop-loss at 3% below entry; take-profit at 5%.
- Any SuperTrend flip closes the trade.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
Expected behavior
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.
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.
