Core Architecture Shift in Pine v5
1. ta.lowestbars() Index Offset: ta.lowestbars(low[1], 15) returns a negative offset (e.g., -4 means 4 bars before bar 1, so 5 bars ago from the current candle). Subtracting this value converts it cleanly into a positive shift index (1 - (-4) = 5) that can index into low[5] or stochK[5].
2. Native Dynamic Indexing: In Pine v5, using variables inside series subscripting (stochK[shiftRecentLow]) is natively supported without needing array.get() calls.
3. plotshape() vs Objects: Unlike MT4/MT5 where drawing persistent chart objects clutters chart memory, plotshape() evaluates once per bar on the GPU/server engine and doesn't require any manual cleanup code.
4. Alert Engine Integration: The included alertcondition() functions allow instant webhook routing out to automated trading bots or Telegram alerts.
