PriceMomentum_V0879

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmReduced base position to 0.7 to lower risk; added volatility filter (vol_pctile<0.75) in entry to avoid extreme volatility; relaxed and simplified momentum regime (ret_20d>6%) with trend confirmation (price>200sma & sma_200_slope>0) or softer 60d momentum; loosened cumulative drawdown requirement; expanded exit rules to include short-term stop (ret_5d<-5%), milder 20d stop (ret_20d<-8%), and an absolute drawdown stop (>12%). Restricted regimes to avoid downturns and high/bubble regimes for robustness.

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