When performing manual trades (not automated trading) the quantity set in the Trade Window is the quantity that you will purchase with each trade. If you want to do 4 - 1 lot trades, then you just set the quantity to 1 and enter 4 separate trades. If you want your Attached Orders to combine as if you had put in a single 4 lot trade, then you would need to use the Scale In and possibly Scale Out options. Refer to the following for setting the quantity: Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Changing Order Quantity And refer to the following for Scaling In and Scaling Out: Attached Orders: Scaling Out To get your P/L to display as Points without Quantity, you just need to set the Chart Profit and Loss Format as Points ignore Quantity. Refer to the following: Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu) For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
