Expected behavior
Picky — both legs must agree. Long flat stretches followed by clusters of trades when a regime turns and FVGs print along the way. Stacks well in directional markets, sits out balanced ranges.
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.
