fix: proper DCA and max_drawdown calculations in backtest engine

Three bugs fixed:

1. **Weighted average entry price for risk management**:
   - Previously, entry_price was overwritten on each buy, causing stop loss
     to be calculated from the latest buy price instead of average
   - Added cost_basis tracking and average_entry_price property
   - Stop loss now correctly uses weighted average across all buys

2. **Portfolio value accumulation in _calculate_metrics**:
   - Bug: running_position = trade['quantity'] was OVERWRITING position
   - Fix: running_position += trade['quantity'] to properly accumulate DCA

3. **Risk management exit reset**:
   - Added cost_basis reset when position is closed

Max drawdown is now correctly bounded by stop loss percentage (~5%)
instead of showing inflated values like 59%.
