PriceMomentum_V1205

REJECTEDhybrid

llmAdded trend gate (only UPTREND) and bubble gate (NORMAL) to reduce overfitting in bad regimes; simplified and regularized entry to momentum + trend confirmation (ret_20d > 4% AND one of close>sma_50, breakout_20, sma_50_slope>0) and require moderate long-term health (cumret_252d > -25%); replaced fragile extreme ret_20d branch; strengthened exits with clearer stop rules (20d loss < -3%), short-term damage + negative MACD, hard drawdown stop, and RSI-based profit-taking; reduced base position to 0.8 and added volatility-scaled sizing (LOW=1.0, MED=0.7, HIGH=0.4) to lower drawdown and improve walk-forward robustness. | rejected: stage1: sharpe -0.94 below screen

Walk-Forward Years

year-by-year stability matters more than any single year

No walk-forward results

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