PriceMomentum_V1433

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmSimplified and regularized entry: replace overfit multi-branch logic with a concise breakout or modest 20d momentum (>6%) confirmed by price above SMA50, plus EMA20, MACD histogram positive, and elevated relative volume (>1.2). Exit generalized to faster, robust signals: MACD histogram turning negative OR price dropping below SMA50 OR sharp 5d loss (< -5%). Added regime gates to avoid high-volatility and extreme-bubble environments (allow only UPTREND/SIDEWAYS & LOW/MEDIUM vol; exclude EXTREME bubble). Reduced base position to 0.8 to lower risk/exposure. Aim: reduce overfitting, improve generalization and drawdown control while keeping momentum/breakout core.
