Actually the program is not mine. I just got it yesterday from this 
board. I only did some simple parameter tuning. My own program does 
not perform as good as this one. So I did not mention it.

Maybe there is some thing wrong with the way I ran backtests?

1) Set all trading price at Open.
2) No stop loss.
3) No optimizations

here's the program:(you can run the same testing)
===================================================
WildPer = Param("Wilder Time Periods", 9, 5, 100, 1 );

Value = Param("RSI value", 50, 1, 100, 0.1 );

Field = Param("Price Field (0-close, 1-high, 2-low)", 0, 0, 2, 1 );

Mode = Param("Mode (0-RSI, 1-ReverseRSI)", 1, 0, 1, 1 );

function RevRSI( value, array, periods )

{

AU = Wilders( Max( array - Ref( array, -1 ), 0 ), periods );

AD = Wilders( Max( Ref( array, -1 ) - array, 0 ), periods );

x = ( periods - 1 ) * ( AD * value / (100 - value) - AU);

return IIf( x >= 0, array+x, array + x * (100 - value)/value );

}

array = IIf( Field == 0, Close, IIf( Field == 1, High, Low ) );

aname = WriteIf( Field == 0, "Close", WriteIf( Field == 1, "High",
"Low" ) );

if( Mode == 0 ) /* RSI */

{

Plot( RSIa( array, WildPer ), "RSI( " + aname + ", " + WildPer + ")",
colorRed );

}

else

{

Plot( array, aname, colorBlack );

Plot( RevRSI( value, array, WildPer ), "ReverseRSI( " + aname + ", " +
WildPer + ")", colorBlue, styleThick );

}

Buy=Cross( array, RevRSI( value, array, WildPer ));

Sell=Cross(RevRSI( value, array, WildPer ), array);

short = sell;
cover = buy;

Buy=ExRem(Buy,Sell);

Sell=ExRem(Sell,Buy);

PlotShapes(Buy*shapeUpArrow,colorAqua);

PlotShapes(Sell*shapeDownArrow,colorYellow);
