PriceMomentum_V0436

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmStronger, regime-aware entry: require moderate 20d momentum + either SMA50 breakout with positive slope or 20d breakout; avoid high-volatility (vol_pctile<0.8) and extreme long-term drawdown (cumret_252d>-0.3). Improved exits: add 5d quick stop and a trend-confirmed exit (below SMA50 + negative 1d return) alongside existing 20d stop. Restrict to UPTREND & non-bubble regimes and reduce base position to 0.6 to lower drawdown risk.
