"""Agent 14 — RSI reversion, trend-gated (family=meanrev, slug=rsi). The angle (assigned): RSI reversion. Long when RSIhi (bl.rsi), GATED by a longer trend filter. Tune lo/hi/win. Reading the train curves first (both A and B, split='train'): they trend UP hard (ann vol ~0.7-0.9, total ret +6.7x / +23x over the window). The TEXTBOOK 30/70 RSI thresholds are dead here: in these up-curves RSI sits >70 ~11% of bars and the dips only floor around RSI 40-45 — RSI<30 in an uptrend happens ~0.1% of the time. A naive symmetric "short every RSI>70" rule would just short the bull and bleed. So the mean-reversion has to be REGIME-AWARE, and the lo/hi have to be tuned to the data's actual RSI distribution, not the textbook: * In an UPTREND (close above a long SMA) RSI dips are BUY-THE-DIP reversion. We go LONG when RSI drops below LO and HOLD that long (hysteresis) until RSI recovers past a higher EXIT level — the classic RSI entry/exit pair — then flat. We do NOT short RSI>hi here (overbought in an uptrend keeps running; that is momentum). * In a DOWNTREND (close below the long SMA) the symmetry returns: RSI>HI is a reversion SHORT (rips fade back down); RSI bigger appetite, no hard 0/1 fee-churning flips) then vol-targeted so the two curves are risk-comparable and exposure shrinks into vol spikes (crashes are vol spikes), bounding the drawdown. HONEST NOTE: in a market that trends this hard, a trend-gated RSI dip-buy partially degenerates toward trend participation — the dips it buys are shallow (RSI ~50s, not 30s) and it rides them up. The genuine reversion content is the buy-low/exit-high cycle and the DD control from the trend gate + vol-target; the short side carries almost no weight in the train edge. The result is an honest-but-modest combined train Sharpe ~1.1 at ~11% DD (vs long-only buy&hold's ~7-23x PnL at ~70-80% DD) — i.e. a fraction of the buy&hold PnL but ~6-7x less drawdown. CAUSAL: rsi() is an EWMA of past gains/losses (<= i); the SMA trend filter is trailing; the hold-state is a forward cumulative pass over PAST bars only; vol_target uses trailing realized vol. No shift(-k), no centered windows, no global fit. Verified by causality_ok (max_diff 0.0). Tuning (train only, combined A&B; coarse->fine sweep + plateau check). Chosen cell is INTERIOR on every axis — RW in [18..25], LO in [56..62], EXIT in [75..85], TWIN=150, TVOL [0.20..0.25] all stay sharpe_min ~1.0..1.26 at DD ~0.11..0.13, a broad plateau not a spike. (Pushing LO/EXIT higher keeps lifting train Sharpe but only by degenerating into buy-and-hold, so we stop at an interior dip-entry cell that is still genuinely a dip rule.)
