1. **Add Short % and Short - Long in the Display dropdown**: This functionality should be added to allow you to see the percentage of short positions and the difference between short and long positions directly in the indicator's "display" dropdown menu.

2. **Enable early access to COT data**: The issue where COT data could only be accessed on Monday (even though it was released on Friday or Saturday) has been resolved. Now, COT data from Tuesday can be incorporated into the chart immediately after the CFTC releases the data, without waiting for the Monday candle.

Colors and lengths have been organized.
The script has been cleaned up, and a bug in the Lumber Future has been fixed.
Long/Short positions can now be analyzed over a desired period length (default is 6 weeks) along with a gray net line that represents the percentage change of long/short positions over the chosen period. Additionally, the script provides the highest high and lowest low of the net percentage value within the selected timeframe.
Unfortunately, the index is currently inaccurate for the following futures because TradingView did not fully update the data earlier this year. Two weeks of data are missing, which prevents the index from calculating the correct value.
This issue affects the following symbols: ZR, KE, ZS, ZL, ZC, ZW, LBR, DC, CT, LE, and NG.
