setting DefaultQuantity somehow not working for me

[caliph]

Hello.

My Strategy always tries to enter with a quantity of 1 in my IB account despite me having the following:

 protected override void Initialize()
        {
            DefaultQuantity = 25000;
}

and entering by:

EnterLongLimit(orderoffset, "longposition");

What am I doing wrong?

Regards, Stefan

Stefan, by what are you choosing to set strategy qty if you start it up on the tab or charts? Is it set ByDefaultQuantity at all?

Thanks

Bertrand, thx for your quick reply.
You were absolutely right, I had set it to "by strategy". It now works fine.

Is there a way so that the strategy remembers these selections and has them pre-set as a default when the start strategy dialog box opens?

You're welcome - though unsupported NinjaScript, you can for example work with this snippet in the strategy Initialize() - QuantityType = QuantityType.DefaultQuantity;
