Seykota Alt 29: Multi-Stage Scaling

// ALTERNATIVE 29: Multi-Stage Profit Scaling
// THEORY: Take profits at MANY levels (1.5N, 3N, 5N, 7N, 10N) instead of just 3.
// More granular scaling means we capture profit throughout the trend, not just at
// major milestones. Reduces risk of giving everything back on reversals.
// INSIGHT FROM BACKTESTS: Alt 10's 3-stage profit targets (+20%) worked brilliantly.
// This extends that concept: if 3 targets work, maybe 5-6 targets work even better.
// Trade-off: More execution complexity, but smoother equity curve and less drawdown.
