"Work on any array" is a straw man, Fred.

The ONLY reason I can see that they don't & therefore the need for RSIa,
etc. in addition to RSI, etc. is that Tomasz wanted to be able to call
RSI(prefs).

That is, C disallows calling RSI(Array=C,range=14) with RSI(nn).

Although FULL portfolio handling including pair trading and ranking
would be absolutely wonderful, at the moment I'd settle for a working
radial button that allows for shrinking position size and an
accounting routine that keeps one from being more than 100%
invested.  That at least would allow for some semi-real testing to be
done in this arena.

As far as indicators go, ALL of them should have the capability to
work on ANY array and for a length that is variable BAR BY BAR.
