PriceMomentum_V0946

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmSimplified and focused entry: require price above SMA50 with 20d momentum and positive SMA50 slope, plus a volume-confirmed breakout alternative. Tightened exit to include 20d momentum stop (-3%), SMA50 breakdown, and a drawdown stop (12%). Regime gates restricted to UPTREND and lower/medium volatility and excluded extreme bubble. Added position scaling down to 50% when vol_pctile > 0.7 to reduce risk in high-volatility regimes. Aimed to reduce overfitting and improve robustness / drawdown control.

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