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.
