Is there a way in the chart trader to use the current position as the quantity? For example, say I want to double down or exit, having a button that I can click to efficiently select the current position as quantity would be very useful. Similarly, 1/2 position, 1/4 position, etc.

If this does not exist, perhaps the fields for the quantity buttons could interpret "P" as current position. So the list of quantity buttons could be something like:

[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ P ] [ 1/2 P ] [ 1/4 P ]

I am aware of that, however it uses market orders and does not let me set a fraction of position to liquidate.
