Enhanced Trade Management Strategy V3.0

Target: Single-Name Stocks (S&P/Russell 1000), 6-12 Month Horizon

Guiding Philosophy: We align with the primary trend, enter on confirmed momentum shifts at logical price levels, and manage risk with mathematical precision. We don't predict—we react to what the chart tells us.

Actionable Rules

Bullish Regime: 50W SMA > 200W SMA by ≥3% price, ATR% 2-7%, VIX<25. Seek daily longs.
Bearish Regime: 50W SMA < 200W SMA by ≥3%, ATR% 2-7%. Seek shorts.
