I think QS staff needs to add more explanation or examples to the various functions listed in the QS language pdf.

For example:

SETSIMSTOP Simulation stops
Simulator
SYNTAX
SetSimStop( ENUM stop type, ENUM stop entry, ARRAY value, ARRAY reentry)
RETURNS
DESCRIPTION
Update the simulator stops
ADDITIONAL INFO
EXAMPLE
SetSimStop(_StopLoss, _Percent, 20, 1)

What are the various options available for the ENUM stop type? I know one is _StopLoss. What are the others?
What are the various options available for the ENUM stop entry? One is _Percent, what are the other types available?
What does reentry signify? 1 means after one bar or what?

There are numerous such examples. More clarification will help us newbies trying to learn.

Thank you for your help.

Best Answer

While typing the formula and while your cursor is in the ENUM position, use CONTROL+SPACE to display all available values.
You can also use the Add Indicator/Method button.

Re-entry tells the backtester to ignore any symbol that was previously sold using a stop for N bars.
