I just made to separate patch files (one for each function file) to help a bit further.  Most likely the patches need update before they are applied, I am pretty ignorant of how to do this properly. I assume this could be all included in a single patch file.

(file #55890, file #55891)

Yes, .+ is not a valid syntax in Octave 9.1. Since you are installing it locally, make the required changes in the tarball and install it.

Apart from the error you spotted, the same issue persists in another places as well.

>> pkg install financial-0.5.3.tar.gz

error: parse error near line 127 of file /home/promitheas/.local/share/octave/api-v59/packages/financial-0.5.3/candle.m

  syntax error

>>>   wicks = HighPrices .- LowPrices;

                          ^
This also applies to line 128 in the same file!

After making these changes, it installed successfully in Octave 9.1. Unfortunately, I don't have permission to push these changes into octave forge. Perhaps a core dev can do this, since I don't know whether the original maintainers are still involved. It has been quite a while since the last release of the financial package (2018-10-22)

"pkg install financial" package for Octave 9.1 fails and returns error, as follows:

>> pkg install -local -forge financial

  syntax error

>>>     h = plot (x, asset, x, avg, x, avg .+ [-s, s], "-r");

****
The error caret^ points up to the "+" sign.  Did I read that the ".+" operator no longer permitted?
