Could this study be added to the list of basic studies? This is a simple method for calcing the Rescaled Range, and thus, the Hurst Exponent...which is a better type of RSI.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescaled_range

Rescaled Range = R/S for a timeseries
When you divide the range (R = Max-Min) by the standard deviation (S) of the input data, that is "rescaling" the range.

If you do a linear regression of the X*Y plot Table
Y = Log(ReScaled Range) = Log(R/S)
X = Log(n) (n is a counter indicating the order of the input bars...for the first observation, n=1 and if there are 20 observations, then the last observation has n=20)
The slope of the regression line of this plot is the Hurst Exponent, and can be plotted over time as a type of RSI indicator.

Variables for the study would be
Length = an integer. This is the number of bars used to calc the statistic, similar to a moving average. (default to 20)
Input Data = {Open, Close, High, Low, OHLC, HLC, etc...}
