## Repaint check
Code review of the published script (40 lines): no request.security(), no lookahead, no barstate logic, no pivots and no plot offsets. Values on closed bars are final; the open bar updates until close, which TradingView calls normal realtime behaviour.

## Pros and cons

Pros
- 40 lines of open code with no request.security(), no lookahead and no plotting into the past (our code review)
- Squeeze on/off dots on the zero line plus a momentum histogram
Cons
- The "BB MultFactor" input does nothing: line 17 uses the KC multiplier (1.5) for the Bollinger deviation
- Old Pine v1 code with no alert conditions
- The open bar's histogram value changes until the bar closes
