Subject: [PATCH] docs: update README leverage to 15x (from .env)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Changed leverage from 20x → 15x for SOL trading.

Reason: Liquidation price was too close for comfort.
Impact: 25% smaller positions, ~33% more liquidation cushion
        (-6.7% vs -5% move needed for liquidation)

README now reflects actual SOLANA_LEVERAGE setting from .env.
