    Good morning,

    I am trying to create a Bull and Bear indicator test, based on Nicola’s recent indicator Another ATR trailing stop.

    My idea was to be able to check several indicators, instead of just ATR. In variable optimization you have to set aaa from 1001 to 1064.

    I receive no errors nor any changeable/meaningful results which is confusing. What am I missing in the code? Thanks!

    You are building an indicator that doesn’t fit on price.

    The original indicator is a trailing stop line computed with the price +/- ATR values (which is a price value), while you try to make a line with price +/- RSI value?! , that doesn’t make sense, since RSI is a normalized oscillator (a value between 0 to 100%).. and the problem is the same with almost all other indicator you tried.

    So, starting from your idea, you have 2 options:

    1. make a price indicator with indicator that reflect price values (such as STD, STE, ..)
    2. make a similar trailing stop indicator but adapted on oscillator: instead of the price  value, use the oscillator one (but that should make some adaptation of the initial code)..

    Thanks Nicola for your prompt reply!

    No wonder… A bit too much Abracadabra from my part.

    As you suggested, making a similar trailing stop indicator but adapted on oscillator: instead of the price  value, seems to be a great idea.

    I have no idea how to do that, but I will dive in to it. If someone gets impatient, please join with some code suggestions, thanks!
