PriceMomentum_V1266

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmAdded regime gates to avoid downtrends and high volatility; broadened entries to include SMA50 momentum + breakout+short-term momentum to improve signal diversity; tightened exits with a 20d -3% stop, drawdown cap (8%), and RSI overbought exit to limit large losses; introduced graded volatility scaling and reduced base position to lower risk.
