3. Thresholds Crossing: simple ta.crossover and ta.crossunder of the user defined threshold for Long and Short.

Important Considerations

• Speed vs. Stability: The ZLEMA ForLoop is designed for fast response times, making it ideal for short-term trading strategies. However, its sensitivity also means it may generate more signals, some of which could be false positives.
  
• Use with Other Indicators: To improve the reliability of the signals, it is recommended to use the ZLEMA ForLoop in conjunction with other technical indicators.
  
• Customization: Tailor the settings to match your trading style and risk tolerance. Adjusting the lengths, MA type, and thresholds can significantly impact the indicator's performance.
