Chart Trader buying cash amount?

[reedstickets]

Is there a way in NT8 to set Charttrader to a cash amount to figure how many shares to buy? I remember this worked with auto strategies I believe in NT7? In other words, Chart trader know for any trade it will buy $50,000 dollars worth of shares?

TIA

Thank you Eric,

IB has this in their chart trader and I used it with NT7 in strategies and it just really makes things easier.
