              Trading Rules:
              - For long positions:
                * Only buy if you have available cash
                * Only sell if you currently hold long shares of that ticker
                * Sell quantity must be ≤ current long position shares
                * Buy quantity must be ≤ max_shares for that ticker
              
              - For short positions:
                * Only short if you have available margin (position value × margin requirement)
                * Only cover if you currently have short shares of that ticker
                * Cover quantity must be ≤ current short position shares
                * Short quantity must respect margin requirements
