Adds +1 contract every time the account grows by the step amount (only scales up, not down).

Subtracted from gross P&L on every closed trade so the paper account mirrors what you'd see with commissions + slippage live.

Balance still moves on every closed trade so you can see how the system would have performed. Trades show in Recent Trades (filterable by system). Excluded from the Overview equity curve and daily/weekly Discord reports. Defaults to ON for the Testing system; flip OFF to promote it into the main analytics view.

Trades are recorded with full latency + fill data to shadow_trades.json, but this system's balance and the Overview chart stay untouched. Use it to validate a strategy in real time before letting it move paper equity.
