ARCHIVEDhybridllm['Streamlined entry rules: keep a clear breakout-with-volume arm and a trend-confirmed MACD arm (macd_hist>0, price>50SMA, 50SMA>200SMA) to reduce overfitting and improve robustness.', 'Added multi-condition exit: exit on macd_hist<0 OR price crossing below 50SMA OR drawdown>12% to tighten risk control and cut large losses.', 'Introduced regime gates: allow trading only in UPTREND or SIDEWAYS, and only in LOW/MEDIUM volatility and NORMAL bubble to avoid entering in hostile market regimes.', 'Added volatility-based position sizing: reduce size when vol_pctile>0.8 (position=0.3) and increase size in low volatility (vol_pctile<0.3 => position=1.0); set base_position to 0.8.', 'Kept strategy simple and within feature set; changes favor structural risk management and regime-awareness over tiny threshold tweaks.']

Walk-Forward Years
year-by-year stability matters more than any single year
| Year | CAGR | Sharpe | Max DD | Trades |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 0.8% | 0.14 | -5.3% | 3 |
| 2017 | 10.1% | 1.12 | -4.5% | 7 |
| 2018 | -5.8% | -0.85 | -7.3% | 4 |
| 2019 | 5.7% | 0.39 | -12.1% | 3 |
| 2020 | 0.0% | 0.00 | 0.0% | 0 |
| 2021 | 5.7% | 0.37 | -16.0% | 7 |
| 2022 | 7.2% | 0.57 | -12.0% | 2 |
A robust strategy performs acceptably in most years rather than spectacularly in one — look for consistency across regimes, not a single outlier year.
