Options for Chart trading reset order quantity to 1

[Kdevineni]

Using chart trading I start entering a position with 5 quantity and I have setup the ATM strategy which is working as expected for targets and stop loss.

If the market is moving in my favor the some of the targets are taken away and still want to add more positions, in this case I have to manually change the order quantity..

Is there any setting to reset the order quantity to 1 after initial trade entry ?

Example

1. Order quantity set to 5
2. ATM strategy selected
3. Buy long Quantity 5, <<<<< Customize to reset the quantity to 1 for future trades
4. After 10 ticks 1 sell (by ATM Strategy)
5. After 15 ticks 1 sell (by ATM Strategy)
6. Manually change the quantity to 1 <<<<<<I want to know if there is anything can be done to reset the order quantity to 1 after step #3
7. Add more positions

Can this be done in chart trading settings ?

OR

using Addon extending the chart trader ?

Hello Kdevineni

Thank you for reaching out.

The quantity after each order submission in the Chart Trader, will revert back to the quantity that was set in the ATM Template that was used.

This would mean that the ATM last used in your case had a quantity of 5 selected.

You can set the ATM strategy to None if you do not want it to keep changing the contract quantity.

Or you could also have two templates, one saved with a QTY of 5 and another with it saved with a QTY of 1 and just select the template for the QTY you want to trade.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance
