PriceMomentum_V1502

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmAdded a clearer two-branch entry (momentum breakout and trend-follow confirmation), tightened entry momentum threshold, added RSI cap to avoid overbought entries, strengthened trend confirmation with SMA50>200 and sma_200_slope filter; improved exits to include drawdown, sharp 1-day drops and extreme volatility spikes in addition to MACD; added regime gates to avoid high-volatility and bubble extremes; reduced base position to 0.8 and introduced vol_pctile-based position scaling to reduce sizing in high volatility.
