Order Quantity from the ChartTrader

[boreland]

Is there a way to have a strategy use the order qty set in ChartTrader?. It seem strategies a default value of 100 shares.

Also same goes for account selection?

Hello boreland,

Thanks for your post.

I am not aware of a means to pull that value from the chart Trader.

You can create a user input for the strategy where you specify the quantity to trade when you apply the strategy.

Or you can change the "Default quantity" when you apply the strategy. To do this, when you apply the strategy change the row "set order quantity" from "Strategy" to 'Default quantity" which wuill change the display and you can then directly enter how many you wish to place on each order.
