Entry rules
- %K crosses above %D AND
- Both lines are inside the oversold zone (%K < 30).
- Long when SuperTrend flips bullish AND VFI is positive.
- Short when SuperTrend flips bearish AND VFI is negative.
Exit rules
- %K crosses back below %D, OR %K pushes above 80 (overbought).
- Hard 2.5% stop; 4% take-profit.
- Any SuperTrend flip closes the trade.
- 4% trailing stop, 3-bar cooldown.
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.
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.
