Summary

The Setup Rules are the Rules dedicated to perform actions when a certain condition is met. These Rules allow the possibility to launch an action (pause the backtest, show a message) and/or to enter the Market automatically by inserting an Exit Rule.
The Setup Rules are divided in two parts :

  • The Actions : the action to perform when the previous condition is filled
