Sell SLM size defaults to one instead of order qty?

[XXfea]

Placing an OCO order for an existing position on Chart Trader.
Order Qty set to position size - say 5
Right click above the current price and I can set a sell limit 5 - one click
But why I go to place a Sell Stop Limit - even though it shows 5 it defaults to 1 necessitating me manually adjusting the quantity.
Que?

Hello XXfea,

Thank you for the message.

The Quantity selector within the Chart Trader panel is what dictates the number of contracts that will be placed.

• 

When placing a Stop Limit order, it will show the Stop Limit Offset value selector. This has nothing to do with the Quantity of contracts. This is defining how many ticks away from the Stop Order do you want the Stop Limit Order to be placed.

• Please click here and read though this page for more detailed information on Stop Limit Orders and how they work with NinjaTrader

Finally, if you have an ATM Strategy selected, it will cause the Order Quantity to default to the number of contracts that are defined within the ATM Strategy.

• If you don't want it to default to that quantity, select a different ATM Strategy with a different value defined for the order quantity or set it to None

Please let us know if we may provide any further assistance.
