Disable TP tightening: tuned pre-spread, halves total R under real fills

A/B on M15 2025-03-30→2026-05-31 with $0.30 spread + gap-through fills
(511 identical entries, only exits differ):
  factor 0.8 / min_rr 0.4: +36.1R (avg +0.071R, SELL +1.2R)
  factor 1.0 / min_rr 0.5: +66.8R (avg +0.131R, SELL +9.6R)
Worse in both train and validation halves and both directions. The 20%
tighter targets buy +1.8pt win rate but shrink every win while the fixed
spread stays constant. The knob remains for re-tuning with costs included.
