Usage
After adding the indicator to your chart:

3. Interpret Signals:
- Red Background: Anomaly detected on that bar.
- Red Cross: Specific point of anomaly.

Inputs
- StdDev Threshold: Higher values reduce anomaly sensitivity. Default: 2.0.
- Window Length: Larger windows smooth data, reducing false positives. Default: 20.
