Is there a default setting in DOM for order execution quantity?

I've got a chronic bad habit of forgetting to re-set the order quantity to 1 after exiting trades. I often scale into longs or shorts and exit all at once - often 5 or 6 MNQ lots. On my next trade, I find myself accidentally executing 5 or 6 MNQ contracts when I intend to execute 1 because I didn't re-set the DOM's execution quantity.

Is your DOM strictly manual insofar as execution quantity? Or is there a DOM setting I can make to re-set the order quantity by default back to 1 after I exit my trades? Thanks!!

There is not a reset for the quantity. The system keeps the last quantity that was set until it is changed.
