PriceMomentum_V1603

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmAdded regime gates to avoid downtrends and very high volatility; simplified entry to robust momentum + MA confirmation with RSI and volatility filters to reduce overfitting; added a clearer, volatility-aware exit (deeper stop + MA break); implemented volatility- and bubble-based scaling and reduced base position for better generalization.
