Looks like you might have some spacing problems and line 2 is the real issue:

SetBacktestMode(backtestRotational);
SetTradeDelays(1,1,1,1); // everything delayed 1 day
SetOption("UsePrevBarEquityForPosSizing", True);
SetOption("MinShares", 10);
SetOption("AllowPositionShrinking" ,True);
SetOption("AccountMargin",100);

Try that see what you get for errors....might be that when you copy and paste the code, the quotes around might become the "other" type of quotes - just replace them one at a time.
