PriceMomentum_V1708

ARCHIVEDhybrid

llmAdded trend and volatility regime gates to avoid entering in clear downtrends or high-volatility regimes; tightened and restructured entry to require momentum confirmation (macd_hist>0) and RSI in a non-overbought band, while keeping price/sma_200 regime or strong 20d return as signal; replaced fragile single-day exit with a clear technical exit (close < sma_50) plus a larger stop (ret_20d < -3%); reduced base_position to 0.8 and added graded position scaling by volatility and bubble state to lower exposure in risky regimes.
