Release Notes:

Remove zone creation time, not working at the moment.

Release Notes:

Re-add base time creation for the zone, used to stop looking for touches beyond the base creation.

Release Notes:

Fix bug in BaseTime comparing if bar time is higher than that, now checks if it's lower.

Release Notes:

- add 'Length' to 'Touch' type to let the user know how long the touch was

Release Notes:

- A touch is not considered a retest if it reached above/below the zone.

Release Notes:

- Add 'ExtremeIndexBack' to 'Touch' type that is set for false breakouts and retest for the highest/lowest price bar

Release Notes:

- Exit false breakout if a previous false breakout was found

Release Notes:

- Don't exit 'false breakout ' detection if the loop is on the first iteration
