Sides isolated

When you have Sides set to Bullish or Bearish, you can also check Sides isolated to further restrict TradersPost. For example, by default if you have Sides set to Bullish and you send action=buy and there is an open bearish position, TradersPost will first exit the bearish position before entering the bullish position. But if you enable Sides isolated, then the strategy would not be allowed to exit the bearish position and the buy signal would be rejected. This is useful if you want to ensure that your strategy only trades on one side and does not exit the other side.
