Expected behavior
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.
Slow oscillator — fewer trades than a price-based crossover, but each one is volume-confirmed. Equity curve is patient: long quiet stretches punctuated by participation surges.
