// Phase 2 Settings (Adjusted for Testing)
MinBiasStrength = 0.0              // Lowered for testing
EnableBiasChangeDetection = false   // Simplified for testing
EnableMajorLevelsFilter = true
BiasHistoryPeriods = 10
BiasChangeThreshold = 20.0

// Session Settings
UseTimeFilter = false              // Disabled for testing
```
