Are signals with negative weights not suitable for trading?
What is the purpose for having signed weights? The documentation shows the following code which seems to imply that the biggest negative number is the highest priority.
How does WL currently handle/process signed weights?
Is -99.15 weight higher priority than 79.23 in the signals window?

CODE:
// Assign the highest priority to the lowest rsi (most oversold) by negation if (t != null)    t.Weight = -_rsi[idx];

Signals with negative weights are suitable for trading. Adding a "-" sign is way to prioritize oscillator signals in an oversold situation. So that a deeply oversold stock at RSI=9 is ranked to be treated first.

Are there times where a positive weight has higher priority than a negative weight?

If so, what would be an example where a positive weight was ranked higher?

The greater the number the greater the weight. So Positive weights are always prioritized higher than negative weights.
