Strategy Description: Gap Up/Down Alerts with Buy, Sell, and Cover Conditions
This strategy identifies gap trading opportunities for both long (buy) and short (sell) setups, along with precise exit conditions for each, leveraging moving averages (MAs) and price action. The strategy is designed to dynamically work on any stock chart and provides clear visual and alert-based indications.

Core Logic
Buy Setup:
The strategy identifies bullish momentum for buying when:

The stock has gapped up (open price is significantly higher than the previous day's close by the user-defined percentage, e.g., 5%).
The price touches and bounces off either the 9-period moving average (MA) or the 21-period MA.
The 9 MA is above the 21 MA, indicating a bullish trend.
The price crosses the prior bar's high after bouncing.
Exit Condition for Buy:

The buy position is exited if the next bar's low drops below the buy bar's low.
Sell (Short) Setup:
The strategy identifies bearish momentum for short selling when:

The stock has either gapped up or gapped down.
The price is below both the 9-period MA and the 21-period MA.
The 9 MA is below the 21 MA, indicating a bearish trend.
The price touches the 9 MA but fails to stay above it, followed by the next bar breaking below the prior bar's low.
Cover Condition for Sell:

The short position is covered if the next bar's high rises above the sell bar's high.
Visual Indicators
