Is there somewhere which has the complete documentation on all possible values of the arguments?

For example, I am looking for an argument which translates into "dollar value of shares purchased".

This is what I have been able to find so far:
SetSimSetting(_NbPositions, 10); // Max number of positions to hold
SetSimSetting(_InitialEquity, 150000); // Starting capital
SetSimSetting(_ActivateStopImmediatly, 1); // Uses the stop price as the trade exit price
SetSimSetting(_DisableTradeIfFewVolume, 0);
SetSimSetting(_DisableTradeIfFewVolumeRatio, 10);
SetSimSetting(_ExitWhenReverseEntrySignal, 0); // Exit the current position if signal in the opposite direction is triggered
SetSimSetting(_MarginFactor, 2);
SetSimSetting(_MinPositionValue, 10000);
SetSimSetting(_MinShares, 10);
SetSimSetting(_RiskFreeRate, 2);
SetSimSetting(_Slippage, 0);
SetSimTiming(_Buy, _Open, 0); // Type, Price (_Close, _Open, _Limit, _Stop, _StopLimit), Decalage -1 = today 0 = tomorrow ...
SetSimTiming(_Sell, _Close, 0);
SetSimTiming(_Short, _Open, 0);
SetSimTiming(_Cover, _Open, 0);

To get all available values for an argument, use the CONTROL+SPACE shortcut.

There is no "dollar value of shares purchased" setting. To enter a fixed amount for each position you will have to use the money management tool.

We already have similar script in the sharing server:

Actually, this CONTROL+SPACE short-cut never works for me!

Type exactly:

SetSimTiming(

Then use CONTROL+SPACE.

while typing that itself the options are shown without the need for CONTROL+SPACE

Sounds like you have multiple monitors, and the dialogue you are seeking is buried on another screen... Have experienced that myself. Try putting Qshare on your primary monitor and see if that helps.
