The system trades in the direction of SuperTrend and looks for pullbacks to an
exponential moving average. A position is opened either when the SuperTrend line
flips direction or when price rebounds from the EMA while remaining in the
prevailing SuperTrend bias. This combination attempts to capture the first leg
of a new move and subsequent retracements within an established trend.
A percentage based take profit can be enabled via the built‑in protection module
by setting the take profit type to "%". The defaults favor long trades but short
entries can also be activated. Because the strategy relies on direction changes,
it is most effective in trending markets where SuperTrend reacts quickly to
momentum shifts.
