 ### Sell reasons table
 
 The 2nd table contains a recap of sell reasons.
-This table can tell you which area needs some additional work (i.e. all `sell_signal` trades are losses, so we should disable the sell-signal or work on improving that).

 This is necessary to simulate realistic behaviour, since the backtest period has to end at some point, while realistically, you could leave the bot running forever.
-These trades are also included in the first table, but are extracted separately for clarity.
