Same issue as options_flow: early exit on candidate count discards strong
signals that happen to be later in iteration order.
insider_buying: Dict iteration order matched OpenInsider HTML scrape order,
not signal quality. Now scores by cluster buys + C-suite + dollar value,
then takes top N.
technical_breakout: Stopped at limit*2 in file order despite data already
being batch-downloaded (zero API cost to check all). Removed early exit,
scan full universe, sort by volume_multiple.
sector_rotation: Checked laggards in arbitrary dict order, spending API
calls on random tickers. Now sorts by most-negative 5d return first so
the strongest laggard candidates are checked before hitting the budget.
