I am unable to change the order quantity from trading 1 lot in a automated trading strategy using spreadsheets. I have changed the maximum position size allowed, the quantity button in the chart trader, and have changed cell J26. Nothing is working. What is my next steps?

Cell J26 should do what you want. What value do you have in this cell and when your entry goes true, what is the actual quantity that is placed for the order? For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

I have 3 in j26 and when a order is placed it only places 1 no matter what I put in J26

Please do the following: - Note down any special formulas you are using the J column. - Select the I and J columns by left clicking on the titles at the top (select I then hold down the button and slide over to J to select both at the same time) - Select the "Delete" button your keyboard. - Select "Yes" to the question that comes up about clearing the data. - Go back to your chart for which this spreadsheet is associated and select "Chart >> Reload and Recalculate". - Go back to your Spreadsheet System for Trading and update the cells that had special formulas. Note that the particular cells are in different locations, so you will need to find them. For instance, the Order Quantity is cell J69. We apologize for this, it occurs when you start with the cells ordered one way and then change to the other way.
