Hi sunlounger,

There is no way to set a default quantity for orders unless you are using an ATM strategy or scaling into an active ATM strategy.

After setting up your ATM strategy (including order quantity), right-click within the ATM strategy window and select "Manage ATM strategy templates". Name the strategy and select "Save". Now when you use this strategy, the amount of contracts you saved in the template will execute when you enter the market. Please see the link below for more details:

If you are already in an open position with an ATM strategy, you can change the default scale quantity by right-clicking on Chart Trader/SuperDOM > Properties > Change the "Scale quantity" property to your desired contract size > click "OK". Now when you scale into an active ATM strategy it will scale in with the amount of contracts you defined in that property.
