b615920843 fix: realistic transaction costs, colorbar layout, equity curve clipping
- Costs updated to evidence-based values (SEC small-cap liquidity study 2013,
  Nasdaq spread data 2021, AQR Trading Costs paper 2018):
  large ~0.2% RT, mid ~0.5%, small ~1.5%, micro ~5%
- Micro-cap note: Alpaca does not allow new OTC/Pink Sheet positions;
  most micro-cap signals are untradeable; at realistic 5% RT, micro-cap
  destroys capital (-36% to -81% excess return)
- db.py: get_cached_market_caps returns already_fetched set including null
  rows, preventing repeated yfinance re-queries for known-missing tickers
- plot_hp_heatmap: colorbar in dedicated axes (right margin), no overlap
- plot_equity_curves: two-pass approach clips all curves to min end date
- README: updated cost table, shortened insidercopytrading.com section

9417a9e542 fix: cache yfinance misses, pass pre-fetched caps to all plot sims
- _fetch_market_caps: parallel fetch (20 threads), skip tickers with '/',
  cache None results so missing tickers are never re-queried
- simulate: fix prices.get() default from {} to ([], []) for bisect compat
- plot_position_size: pass _signals/_market_caps to avoid per-sim refetch
- plot_equity_curves: use tuple-based SPY price access
- plots: regenerate all three (hp_sweep, equity_curves, position_size)
- README: add position_size.png embed
