The the "Trade Window Linking" section here: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/TradeWindow.html#TradeWindowLinking, it says "Trade Windows can be linked together so that when changing any of the settings on one of them, the other linked Trade Windows also update to have identical settings."

Then it says "For complete documentation for this feature, refer to Chart Linking."

But on the Chart Linking page here, https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/WorkingWithCharts.html#ChartLinking, I still can't find any information about it.

What I want specifically is for the quantity traded on both charts to change if I trade it in only one trade window. My current setup is actually a chart and an accompanying DOM. The two are linked. But if I want to, say, trade 100 shares instead of 50 on the chart, and I change the quantity in the trade window for the chart, it's not reflected in the DOM. I have to change it manually in the DOM's trade window. I'd like for both to change if I change the quantity in only one trade window.

Along those lines, is there a window for only changing quantity? I don't need the huge trade window, but just a place to input my quantity. Is there something for that?

Using Chart Linking for the Trade Window will do what you want.

In terms of changing the quantity, refer to the following for some of the different available methods:
