[DurdenBTC] The 6th Rule

A two-factor trend system that combines price momentum with volatility regime analysis to generate a simple three-state signal: Bullish, Neutral, or Bearish.

Factor 1 measures whether short-term price momentum is above or below the medium-term trend. Factor 2 determines whether the current volatility environment is favorable for the asset, including a stress-recovery override that attempts to catch V-shaped bottoms most trend systems miss entirely.

The two factors sum to a score of +2 (Bullish), 0 (Neutral), or -2 (Bearish). In Scaled mode (recommended), the strategy runs full exposure on Bullish, half exposure on Neutral, and goes flat on Bearish.

Core thesis: you don't need to capture every tick of upside. You need to avoid the drawdowns that destroy compounding. This system delivers the majority of buy-and-hold returns with a fraction of the drawdown.
