+ Small update to this script which solves for preferred or classed shares like `BRK.A` or `BRK.B`
+ Also updated name to more accurately reflect values which are short volume, not short open interest.

12/2/2024:
Updating for pine v6 & because quandl data source no longer available.
Moving over to FINRA:<sym>_SHORT_VOLUME as primary feed so that indicator is somewhat functional again.

Stay tuned for further updates, noticing that the new source is not correctly handling pre/post split adjustments on short volume.

12/4/2024: Correctly split adjusted now.
