Three critical fixes to Position Manager runner protection system:
1. **TP2 pre-check before external closure (MAIN FIX):**
- Added check for TP2 price trigger BEFORE external closure detection
- Activates trailing stop even if position fully closes before monitoring detects it
- Sets tp2Hit and trailingStopActive flags when price reaches TP2
- Initializes peakPrice for trailing calculations
- Lines 776-799: New TP2 pre-check logic
2. **Runner closure diagnostics:**
- Added detailed logging when runner closes externally after TP1
- Shows if price reached TP2 (trailing should be active)
- Identifies if runner hit SL before reaching TP2
- Helps diagnose why trailing stop didn't activate
- Lines 803-821: Enhanced external closure logging
3. **Trailing stop exit reason detection:**
- Checks if trailing stop was active when position closed
- Compares current price to peak price for pullback detection
- Correctly labels runner exits as trailing stop (SL) vs TP2
- Prevents misclassification of profitable runner exits
- Lines 858-877: Trailing stop state-aware exit reason logic
**Problem Solved:**
- Previous: TP1 moved runner SL to breakeven/ADX-based level, but never activated trailing
- Result: Runner exposed to full reversal (e.g., 24 profit → -.55 loss possible)
- Root cause: Position closed before monitoring detected TP2 price trigger
- Impact: User forced to manually close at 43.50 instead of system managing
**How It Works Now:**
1. TP1 closes 60% at 36.26 → Runner SL moves to 34.48 (ADX 26.9 = -0.55%)
2. Price rises to 37.30 (TP2 trigger) → System detects and activates trailing
3. As price rises to 43.50 → Trailing stop moves SL up dynamically
4. If pullback occurs → Trailing stop triggers, locks in most profit
5. No manual intervention needed → Fully autonomous runner management
**Next Trade Will:**
- Continue monitoring after TP1 instead of stopping
- Activate trailing stop when price reaches TP2
- Trail SL upward as price rises (ADX-based multiplier)
- Close runner automatically via trailing stop if pullback occurs
- Allow user to sleep while bot protects runner profit
