Dimitri , that's a great function
except that compared to the composite function the value are 
unfortunately limited to the smallest range of data available
for example, compare 

function Composite( listnum )
{
list = GetCategorySymbols( categoryWatchlist, listnum );
Average = 0;f=0;
for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{
SetForeign(sym,True,True);
f=IIf(MFI(14)>50,1,-1);
Average = Average + f;
}
return Average ;
}

Plot( Composite(1), "MeanRSI", colorPink );


WITH

AddToComposite( IIf(MFI(14)>50,1,-1), "~CompMFI", "X");
Buy=Sell=0;

Plot(Foreign( "~CompMFI", "x"),"~MFI",colorBlue,1);
