Order types can be specified in the "Update Trading System" form by updating the fields just above buy, sell, short and cover rules controls. Example: Buy using limit order at tomorrow (limit = close) Here are the trading order types that are available in QuantShare: Market at open Market at close Limit order Stop order Stop limit order To change an order type using QL (QuantShare Language): - Select "Create trading system using the formula editor" tab - Type the next lines to associate a limit order to buy signals SetSimTiming(_Buy, _Limit, 1); BuyPrice(close * 0.99, 10); The "SetSimTiming" function allows you to specify an order type to associate with a signal type. Here, we associate limit order type to buy signals. We set "1" in the third parameter to indicate that we want to execute the order tomorrow (signal date + 1). The "BuyPrice" function allows you to specify the limit or/and stop price of an order. Here, we indicate that the limit price is 1% below the close price and that the order is valid for 10 days only. After this period, the order is automatically removed. To get the list of available fields in a parameter, click on this parameter then use the CONTROL+SPACE shortcut.
