Tell me why a signal didn't become a trade

Right now when nothing happens I can't tell the difference between "conditions weren't met", "conditions were met but something blocked it", and "I made a mistake in the code." What I'd like is a skip log: for each bar where a signal was evaluated and rejected, one line saying which condition failed or which limit blocked it. I'd probably learn more from that log than from my results, honestly.

Two bug reports this week were the same underlying gap — a skip that the system could explain and didn't. We agree this should exist and we're treating it as one piece of work rather than three separate fixes.

My zero-size bug is exactly this. Glad it's being generalized rather than patched.

Please make it exportable too. A skip log I can analyze beats one I can only read.

Does the log only cover bars where a signal actually fired, or also the ones where my entry condition was never close to true? Those are very different sized logs and I'd want to know which one I'm getting.
