// Main method: detects whether price has crossed the trendline up (long) or down (short)
// Parameters:
// - symbol: the symbol we're evaluating (e.g., "EURUSD")
// - handle: the indicator handle for the trendline (e.g., iMA handle)
// - cross_long: output bool set to true if a bullish cross is detected
// - cross_short: output bool set to true if a bearish cross is detected

double trendline = market_data_utils.get_buffer_value(handle, 1); // trendline now

// --- Exit early if any of the data is missing or invalid

// METHOD: determines if price is currently trending above or below the trendline
// Parameters:
// - symbol: trading symbol (e.g., "EURUSD")
// - handle: trendline indicator handle
// - is_direction_long: output bool, true if price is above trendline
// - is_direction_short: output bool, true if price is below trendline
// - shift: which candle to check (default: 1 = last closed bar)
