💻 Featured Code Change
From commit 7216c04a:
"""Close all legs of an iron condor using MLeg order for atomic execution.
FIX Jan 27, 2026: Changed from individual leg orders to MLeg (multi-leg) order.
Previous bug: Individual close orders destroyed iron condor structure, leaving
orphan legs that caused losses. MLeg ensures all legs close together or not at all.
