PriceMomentum_V1544

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmSimplified and regularized entry: require 20d momentum + trend/50slope and volume, or a volume-confirmed 20d breakout. Added multi-condition exit: larger 20d stop, drawdown stop, and RSI+day weakness exit. Added regime gate to only trade in UPTREND and avoid EXTREME bubbles. Implemented volatility-based position sizing (low->high). Reduced base position to lower drawdown and overfitting risk.
