REJECTEDbreakout

llm1) Added trend gate = UPTREND and bubble gate = NORMAL to avoid buying in bad regimes. 2) Tightened dist_sma_20 threshold (>-0.05) and vol_chg (<1.0) and required elevated rel_volume (>1.0) to improve quality of breakouts. 3) Replaced single sma-cross exit with an OR exit: sma_20 cross OR fast 5-day loss OR absolute drawdown >6% to cut losses sooner. 4) Reduced base_position to 0.6 and added volatility scaling (1.0/0.6/0.33 for low/med/high) to lower risk and drawdowns while keeping exposure in favorable regimes. | rejected: stage1: sharpe -0.53 below screen

A robust strategy performs acceptably in most years rather than spectacularly in one — look for consistency across regimes, not a single outlier year.
