Expected behavior

Cleaner than vanilla SuperTrend β€” 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.

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