In J26 in my spreadsheet system for trading I have specified an order quantity, and for no reason that I can understand it only enters with that quantity on about half of the entries. The other half it enters with 1 contract. I've been trying to troubleshoot this and can't find anything. Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Look at your Trade Activity Log and see if you can find one of the Fills for when the entry was only for a quantity of 1, then look back at the orders that lead up to that fill and see if the quantity of the orders started at 4 and then changed for some reason. The information on why the quantity changed will be in there. Or if it was an actual entry of just 1 for some reason.

You can also check the "Trade >> Trade Service Log" to see if there was something specific that occurred that caused the quantity to change.

One other thing to check, is if you are using any kind of formula to fill in the quantity for the Spreadsheet System for Trading, then ensure that the formula is not changing the quantity to 1 for some reason.
