REJECTEDhybrid

llmAdded breakout and momentum confirmation to entries; relaxed flat ret threshold but kept a stronger ret_20d alternative to improve generalization. Restricted trend regime to exclude downtrends. Introduced volatility-based position sizing (reduce exposure in high vol) and a bullish sizing lift when SMA200 slope + MACD positive. Added more robust exits: SMA50 breakdown and drawdown stop in addition to the 20-day loss. Reduced base exposure to limit max drawdown. | rejected: stage1: sharpe -0.67 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.
