Hello there. I feel like something is wrong with how my stop loss signals are implemented: I think they might never trigger. because when I graph a heatmap based on different values of stop loss, I can clearly see that absolutely nothing changes when I change the stop loss. That includes both short and long positions, removing short positions did not change anything so it has nothing to do with positions being long/short: import numpy as np
