The updated script includes several key improvements, making it more accurate and user-friendly:

• Smarter Shape Plotting: In the original script, circles might have appeared on every bar where the fear or greed condition was met, cluttering the chart. Now, circles are only plotted at the start of a new fear or greed period, clearly marking the moment to consider a buy or sell opportunity.
  
• Improved Line Persistence: Previously, if the condition was met for just one bar, the horizontal line might not have displayed correctly. The updated version ensures that the line extends for a total of 5 bars (including the trigger bar), providing consistent visual feedback even for short-lived signals.
  
• Better Retrigger Handling: The original script struggled with retriggers—when the condition was met, unmet, and met again in quick succession. Now, the script dynamically adjusts: for example, if the condition triggers on one bar, stops, and triggers again later, the line starts at the first trigger’s close and extends for 5 bars after the last trigger. This ensures the indicator accurately reflects evolving market sentiment.
  

These changes make the Fear and Greed Indicator more reliable and easier to read, offering clearer signals for potential trading opportunities.
