"""Crossover series and immediate boolean checks: use series for event composition and is_* for orders on the current bar.

Bundled GOOG daily data, with no extra dependencies. Separation after equality on the previous bar also counts as a crossover.
Exclusive orders, end-of-run liquidation, and default zero commission; this demonstrates the API rather than validating returns.
