change contracts per order?

[Bobbybattles]

I would like to change my default contract size on a strategy. Here is my current order entry code

EnterLongLimit(Close[0] - 1 * TickSize);

If I would like to increase my contracts from 1 to 3, how would I do this?

Hello Bobbybattles,

Thank you for the post.

You may set the 'Set order quantity' to 'by default quantity' field in the strategy set up. I have included a screen shot.

If you would like to do this programmatically, set the 'Set order quantity' to 'by Strategy' then you may use the overloaded function call to specify the quantity of your order.

EnterLongLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice)

Like so:

EnterLongLimit(2, Close[0] - 1 * TickSize);

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
