CRITICAL BUG FIXED (Jan 2, 2026):
- Old backtest treated SHORT signal as 'exit LONG only' (reversal system)
- Live trading opens actual SHORT position = different outcome
- Backtest showed profit but live trading lost money due to mismatch
Changes:
- Added close_entries_rule='ANY' to strategy declaration
- Opposite signal now CLOSES current position first, then opens NEW
- Added 'Direction Mode' dropdown: Both / Long Only / Short Only
- Comments document the fix for future reference
This allows honest evaluation:
1. Run 'Both' mode to see true combined performance
2. Run 'Long Only' to see LONG-only results
3. Run 'Short Only' to see SHORT-only results (likely the problem area)
