Backtesting - Stops, Trailing Stops, and Limit Orders

[techinvest]

I'm at a loss and I can't find any information on how to code these strategies into my formula.

Example (completely arbitrary #'s here):

Upon entering a position, I would place a 40 pip stop, trailing at 10 pips, with an 80 pip limit.

I saw a MA crossover formula with stops and limits, but I couldn't figure out how to make it a trailing stop. Actually, I couldn't figure out how the stops and limits were entered in either.

Also, is there a publication out there that teaches the EFS syntax? I mean, there are books for VB, C++, and so on... why not EFS? Or IS there one?

You may want to read through the Guide to Developing eSignal Strategies which contains explanations and examples for all the subjects you are asking about.
I don't believe there is a publication specifically dedicated to EFS however EFS is based on JavaScript and you can find the Core Javascript Reference Guide in the EFS KnowledgeBase
