PriceMomentum_V1600

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmSimplified and regularized entry (short-term return + breakout OR MA+momentum+volume), tightened thresholds to reduce overfitting; added robust exits (MACD sign, 8% stop-loss, or drop below SMA50); introduced regime gates to restrict trading to up/side trends, normal/low-medium volatility and non-bubble conditions; added volatility-based position scaling rules; reduced base_position to 0.6 to lower drawdown risk.
