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.

Futures, foreign currency and options trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

CFTC Rules 4.41 - Hypothetical or Simulated performance results have certain limitations, unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading. Also, since the trades have not been executed, the results may have under-or-over compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profit or losses similar to those shown.
