Subject: [PATCH] config: Update leverage from 5x to 10x

Justified by validated Long-only backtest (Nov 24 - Jan 3):
- Win Rate: 82.14% (required >65%)
- Profit Factor: 2.18 (required >1.5)
- Max Drawdown: 6.19% (required <15%)
- Sample Size: 28 trades (required >20)

Risk Management Rules:
- Position cap: 80% max of free collateral
- Stop rule: If -25% account (75), drop to 5x
- Review: After 14 trades (2 weeks), evaluate live vs backtest
