fix: Correct order validation logic and OCO test parameters
- Remove overly strict validation in orders.py that required both take_profit AND stop_loss - Different order classes have different requirements: - Bracket orders need both take_profit and stop_loss - OTO orders need EITHER take_profit OR stop_loss - OCO orders are exit-only and have specific validation rules - Update OCO test to handle expected behavior (exit-only orders) - All order enhancement integration tests now passing 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>
