Research direction
Investigate the sell logic in the trend ema strategy. The issue suggests that the bot repeatedly sells at the same loss price. Look at the source code in the zenbot repository, particularly the strategy files for trend ema and the core trading engine. Check if there is a condition that prevents updating sell price after a failed sell. The screenshot shows a sequence of sells at the same price, indicating a loop. Review the sell order handling and price update logic.
