Strategy: volume_momentum_strength_breakout
===========================================
Volume Momentum + Strength Breakout
This rule detects increasing volume momentum combined with price strength
and breakout confirmation. It enters when:
1. Volume is increasing over multiple periods (momentum)
2. Volume surge (2x+ vs 10 bars ago)
3. Price in top 25% of 20-bar range (strength)
4. Breakout above 15-bar high
5. Strong close near bar high
Exit: Close below 10-bar low
Performance: 5/6 years profitable | Total: +116.7%
2020: +7.2% | 74% WR | 19 trades
2021: +14.5% | 63% WR | 19 trades
2022: -1.0% | 58% WR | 19 trades
2023: +56.6% | 63% WR | 19 trades
2024: +22.9% | 42% WR | 19 trades
