Stop + Reversal (Buy + Sell & Short + Cover) Rule
In this rule, the system will **always maintain one open position at a time**.
* When a **Buy signal** comes, it will **enter a Long position**.

* Similarly, when the opposite signal appears, it will **close the current position and reverse the trade**.
This is called a **Stop and Reversal strategy**, where the position **continuously switches between Long and Short**.
