Simple setup. I have it setup as 1 lot, with one stop and one target. "Use attached order" is unchecked.

I am however trading multiple lots. Before order placement, from top left corner of the chart, I change to a number more than one. Place order. Works great. No stop/target is transmitted as intended.

Later, I decide the trade has run it's course and it is time to put a bracket on. I right click the chart and do "Send Attached Orders By Price". Problem is, this is sending out a bracket with one lot. I am expecting it to send a bracket with however many lots I have open. How to?

The implication of what you are stating is that you could not be sending the Attached Orders by Price using the same Chart/Trade DOM/Trading Window as the original order. As the quantity for that Chart/Trade DOM/Trading Window should stay the same as when you last changed it.

Unless, you did something, in between, to change it back to a quantity of 1.

If you are placing the first order on a Chart and then using a Trade Window for the Attached Orders, then that Trade Window must not be the one that is associated with the chart from which the original order originated. Refer to the following:
