A deliberate FAMILY PIVOT away from the collision. The proposed AVAX dual-timeframe momentum-confluence long-short is a re-skin of a family that keeps dying (AVAX itself died fee_edge; DOT/BNB clones died overfit), so this proposal abandons crypto directional momentum entirely and moves to the ONE family the live pipeline evidence shows is currently surviving: equity index-ETF trend/regime rotation (archetype 3 in the equity playbook). A sibling of this exact family, UsRiskOnRiskOffRegimeRotationSpyTltHysteresis, advanced through backtest_review INTO optimizing on 2026-09-06 rather than being abandoned. This is a breadth extension of that surviving structure onto a DIFFERENT, higher-beta growth index (QQQ) with a split defensive book (GLD + TLT) instead of the SPY<->TLT single-pair switch, so it is materially distinct from the in-flight sibling (different growth instrument, different defensive composition, split-weight defensive leg rather than binary). The strategy holds the growth leg (QQQ) while it is in a confirmed uptrend regime and rotates the entire book into a defensive split (gold + long Treasuries) when the growth regime breaks. It is long-only (cash account), commission-free on USEQ, trades on 1-DAY bars with DECADES of split-adjusted history, and turns over only a handful of times per year -- so fee/impact drag is structurally negligible, which is the opposite failure mode from the fee_edge graveyard that kills fast crypto perp mechanisms. Kept to 2 parameters (trend SMA length, hysteresis band width) to resist the overfit deaths that killed the higher-knob single-name momentum clones.
