ARCHIVEDhybrid

llm['Added trend and volatility regime gates to avoid trading in downtrends and extreme/high volatility.', 'Expanded entry to require positive 20-day momentum (lowered threshold to 3%) plus a recent breakout (50d) or 20d rolling high, and require positive 50-day slope and non-overbought RSI to improve signal quality.', 'Added a volatility percentile cap (vol_pctile < 0.85) to avoid entering into very high-volatility periods.', 'Improved exit logic: hard 20-day stop (-5%) or a short-term deterioration (5-day loss combined with negative MACD histogram) to reduce large drawdowns and cut trades that lose momentum.', 'Reduced base position to 0.6 to lower leverage exposure and turnover while keeping positions long-only.']

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