LongTermTrend_V0681
ARCHIVEDhybridllmSimplified and regularized entry to reduce overfitting: require a basic trend/price position (close>sma_50 or not far below sma_50), plus short-term momentum (ret_20d>3% or macd_hist>0), and either a breakout with elevated volume or price above sma_50. Added a volatility filter (vol_pctile<0.75). Introduced robust exits: exit on negative macd_hist, price crossing below sma_50, or portfolio drawdown >6% to limit losses. Added regime gates to avoid trading in high-volatility or bubbly/extreme regimes and allow only UPTREND/SIDEWAYS and NORMAL bubble. Reduced base position to 0.75 for more conservative sizing.

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