PriceMomentum_V1505

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmAdded conservative regime gates (disallow HIGH_VOLATILITY and EXTREME bubble), reduced base position to 0.6 to lower risk, replaced fragile single-threshold entry with two robust entry arms: (breakout + positive 200-day slope + modest 20d momentum) OR (strong 20d momentum with room to 52w high and not extreme volatility). Improved exit to a pragmatic set of momentum/stop conditions (5d loss, 20d loss, or MACD histogram turning negative) to avoid tiny noisy exits and reduce overfitting.
