Hello joemiller,

Thanks for your post.

Can you clarify if this is a strategy that you have created and if so did you use the strategy wizard or Ninjascript?

Hi joemiller,

Thanks for your reply.

In the conditions and actions window, in the action window specifically where you have your order type such as EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "") you can edit that to remove the words DefaultQuantity and replace them with a numerical integer value or a variable that resolves to a numeric integer value.

For example, to go 3 short, change to EnterShort(3, "")

Alternatively, if you want to change the default quantity itself, this can be done when the strategy is being applied. In the strategies window, locate the section "order properties". The row "Set Order Quantity" will be set to "By strategy" by default. To change the value of Default quantity for the streategy, left click on the setting "by strategy" and a drop down arrow on the right edge will appear, left click that and select "By default quantity" which will expose a new row of "default quantity" which you can set as needed.
