Add pivot retest + engulfing strategy with dual take-profit

New strategy (pivot_retest_engulfing) that enters long/short trades at
pivot level retests confirmed by SMA 50 alignment and engulfing candle
patterns. Uses ATR-based stop loss with two take-profit levels — at TP1
half the position closes and SL moves to breakeven, at TP2 the rest closes.

- data_engine: add detect_engulfing() for bullish/bearish pattern detection
- backtester: add generate_signals_pivot_retest(), run_backtest_dual_tp(),
  update signal dispatcher and metrics for dual-TP trade format
- order_executor: support signal=-1 (SHORT), attach SL/TP levels
- config: switch to pivot_retest_engulfing with default params
- chart_trades: new mplfinance script to visualize entries on candlesticks
- README: rewrite with full setup guide, project structure, strategy docs
- requirements.txt: make portable (remove conda file:// paths), add mplfinance
- .env.example: add template for secrets
