Gahow Wang 722cade974 fix: unify backtest execution and add forward validation candidates
Share point-in-time signals and a cash-funded order ledger across backtests and trading. Correct eligibility, missing-price fills, quality factors, regime inputs, warmup windows, and cash-injection accounting. Add reproducible registered-strategy comparisons and paired forward candidates with a 20% resize band.

Validation: 125 Python tests, 23 web tests, TypeScript/Vite build, 87 strategy causality checks, and real-data target/order/equity parity for 10 strategies.

Per-stock trend following with momentum ranking.
Two filters applied:
1. Trend filter: only hold stocks trading above their own moving average
(individual uptrend, not market-level timing)
2. Momentum rank: among trending stocks, pick the top_n by 6-month return
This avoids the Multi-Factor problem of all-or-nothing market timing
while still providing downside protection at the individual stock level.
