Setting Order Quantity When Placing Orders from Chart

Hello Dear Sierra Chart Engineers,

Here is my problem. I want to use the chart to place orders (right clicking and selecting order type)

Here is my problem, however. Anytime I go to do this, it is automatically placing orders for 9 units.

I want to change this default number of 9 to 1.

I saw in another thread you said to do this, all that was needed to do was to open the trade window and set the quantities to what you want.

As you can see, I have done that, but it is still giving me the default number of 9.

What can I do to change the default number?

The Order Confirmation that you are showing could NOT have come from an order placed on the Trading DOM that you are showing in the forefront of that window. That Trading DOM has a quantity of 1, and you should only get a quantity of 1 with any order placed from it.

Please check where you are placing that order from and adjust the quantity for that "chart" (trading DOMs are specialized charts).

Hi John,

Yes, precisely. I did not place the order through the Trading DOM.
I placed the order through right-clicking on the chart and selecting "Market Buy" - or any of the other trading options.

I would like to trade through right-clicking on the chart.
My problem is that I can't find a way to change the order quantity when I place a trade through right-clicking on the chart, it is always 9.

Thanks again for your support and patience
