The winner-ratchet condition (unrealized > initial_r) never fired
because typical price moves rarely exceed 100% of the initial stop
distance. Win/loss ratio measured at 1.01× (symmetric) despite the
asymmetric decay being active.
Fix: ISV-driven threshold factor (slot 546, default 0.25). Trail
starts ratcheting when profit reaches 25% of initial_r — much more
achievable. At 25%: a $12.50 initial_r only needs $3.12 profit
before the winner-tracking activates.
