EMAcross

# EMAcross.py - Trend Following Strategy (exit signal fix)
#
# KEY FIX from v1:
#   Disabled exit_signal — the EMA re-cross exit was causing 22 loss exits
#   averaging -2.41% each, totalling -$531. ROI and stoploss are cleaner exits
#   for a trend-following strategy. We let winning trades run to ROI targets
#   and losing trades hit the hard stop.
