Using static dom and no ATM strategy. Have middle mouse button set to Stop Limit orders.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the qty selection dial when middle clicking to set a buy stop above the market or a sell stop below the market.
When I middle click my mouse and the qty dial pops up, it won't let me select any qty other than what my order qty is set to at the bottom of the dom.
I guess this makes sense but then what's the point of allowing it to dial when first entering th order?
What I'd like to be able to do, or thought I would be ABLE to do, is set the order qty at the bottom of the dom to 5 and then choose a lesser quantity should I choose. I know that you can't do this with a regular limit buy/sell and I also know that I have the abilty to amend the order after it's placed but I just don't get why the wheel qty pops up initially when entering B/S stop limits if I can't use it anyway [until after the order is placed].
Hope I explained that correctly.
Thanks
V.
