Research direction
Start by inspecting the linked PR 3106 diff and the indicator operator implementation it references. Reproduce comparisons using +, -, *, and / with Python indicators, then compare their behavior with < and >; done means all listed operators work without requiring Current.Value and the behavior is verified by relevant tests.
