You have to use the money management script to detect flat positions and trade based on that.

In the simulator, the QS formula is calculated to generate signals only. If you want to interact with the portfolio then you must use the advanced money management tool.

Here is an example:

It gets all trades closed during the current period and then checks if there are not active position for each security.

MMPosition[] closedPositions = Portfolio.GetLastClosedPositions(); // Get last transactions
for(int i=0;i < closedPositions.Length;i++)
{
string symbol = closedPositions[i].Symbol;
if(Portfolio.GetPosition(symbol) == null) // No position for this symbol
{
// Buy something
}
}
