ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmReduced base exposure and added volatility scaling to limit risk in high-vol regimes; added regime gates to require uptrend and non-bubble markets; simplified and diversified entry rules to include momentum + trend or low-vol breakout; strengthened exits with multi-condition stops (long-term momentum drop, short-term crash, RSI overbought, drawdown limit) to improve robustness and reduce overfitting.
