Expected behavior
Higher trade frequency than RSI mean reversion and louder noise. Fits range-bound regimes; produces fast small wins and small losses. Trend regimes can be expensive — the oscillator stays pinned for many bars.
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.
