[ballboy11]

Question #1 am I correctly retrieving chart trader information such as atm strategy, and # of contracts
Your help would be greatly appreciated

Hello ballboy11,

When you inquire "Question #1 am I correctly retrieving chart trader information such as atm strategy, and # of contracts", ChartTraderControlQuantitySelector is the correct automation id for the chart trader quantity selector.

Are you finding that when printing the value this is not matching what is in chart trader?
