    A simple RSI code that works ok.

    However, is not completely satisfied with the stop.

    // Definition of code parameters
    DEFPARAM CumulateOrders = False // Cumulating positions deactivated
    
    
    // Conditions to enter long positions
    indicator1 = RSI[14](close)
    c1 = (indicator1 < 30)
    
    indicator2 = RSI[14](close)
    c2 = (indicator2 > 86)
    
    IF c1 THEN
    BUY 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    IF c2 THEN
    sellshort 1 CONTRACT AT MARKET
    ENDIF
    
    
    
    
    
    //     trailing stop function
    trailingstep      = 6    //5    trailing step to move the "stoploss" after BreakEven
    startBreakeven    = 2     //5    pips in gain to activate the breakeven function
    PointsToKeep      = 2     //3    pips to keep in profit above/below entry price when the breakeven is activated
    //
    //reset the stoploss value
    IF NOT ONMARKET THEN
    newSL          = 0
    breakevenLevel = 0
    ENDIF
    //******************************************************************************************************
    // ----- BREAKEVEN code
    //
    //reset the breakevenLevel when no trade are on market
    // --- LONG  side
    IF LONGONMARKET AND (close - tradeprice(1)) >= (startBreakeven * pipsize) AND breakevenlevel = 0 THEN
    breakevenLevel = tradeprice(1) + (PointsToKeep * pipsize)                         //calculate the breakevenLevel
    ENDIF
    // --- SHORT side
    IF SHORTONMARKET AND (tradeprice(1) - close) >= (startBreakeven * pipsize) AND breakevenlevel = 0 THEN
    breakevenLevel = tradeprice(1) + (PointsToKeep * pipsize)                         //calculate the breakevenLevel
    ENDIF
    //Set new Stop Loss
    IF breakevenLevel > 0 THEN
    newSL = BreakEvenLevel
    ENDIF
    //******************************************************************************************************
    // ----- TRAILING STOP code
    //
    //manage long positions
    IF LONGONMARKET AND BreakEvenLevel THEN
    //next moves after BreakEven
    IF newSL > 0 AND ((close - newSL) >= (trailingstep * pipsize)) THEN
    newSL = newSL + (trailingstep * pipsize)
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    //manage short positions
    IF SHORTONMARKET AND BreakEvenLevel THEN
    //next moves after BreakEven
    IF newSL > 0 AND ((newSL - close) >= (trailingstep * pipsize)) THEN
    newSL = newSL - (trailingstep * pipsize)
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
    //stop order to exit the positions
    IF newSL > 0 THEN
    SELL      AT newSL STOP
    EXITSHORT AT newSL STOP
    ENDIF

    Breakeven after 2 pips with 2 pips to keep dordn’t leave the strategy room to jigsaw a bit!
    I guess that trailingstep is rarely beneficial.
