A LONG-SHORT, single-instrument BTC trend model deliberately engineered to thread the FOUR distinct death modes this session has now demonstrated for trend sleeves, using a signal I have not used (a rolling VOLUME-WEIGHTED trend anchor rather than price-only EMAs/momentum): (1) OVERFIT few-trade CORNER — the efficiency-gate, OI-gate and Donchian breakouts died because a threshold parameter could be pushed to an extreme that collapsed the book to 3–9 trades; this entry is a rolling-VWAP SIGN cross that fires regardless of parameter values (price is always above or below its VWAP), so no setting can starve trade count into a corner. (2) DRAWDOWN hard-abandon — the always-in weekly MA sleeve died at 62% max-drawdown; this model is NOT always-in: a chandelier trailing stop takes it to FLAT to cap drawdown, and a portfolio drawdown circuit-breaker de-grosses on losses. (3) OUTLIER dependence — the weekly sleeve's record rested on one +156% week (kurtosis 587); vol-targeted daily sizing spreads risk across many bars so no single week dominates. (4) FEE_EDGE — daily cadence with multi-week holds means per-trade capture dwarfs the ~0.10% fee. It stays on the ONE proven asset+edge (BTC directional trend) with a DISTINCT construction (volume-weighted anchor + stop-to-flat) from every pending sleeve (momentum-confluence, always-in MACD, pullback, EMA-crossover, rotation, TSMOM basket). Pure OHLCV+volume, computationally trivial (a rolling VWAP + ATR). Avoids the graveyards: NOT reversion/pairs/funding/options (dead/broken), NOT a rarity-gated breakout (corner-collapses), NOT always-in-through-drawdowns (DD abandon), NOT a symbol respray (L56 — BTC, proven asset, distinct signal). Exactly 3 tunable parameters: VWAP lookback, chandelier ATR multiple, and the drawdown-breaker threshold.
