Default Order Size in Chart Trader

Postby konstantin » 09 Feb 2012

Hi,

I don't find settings for the default order size for Chart Trader orders (right click on chart). I always have 1 as order size.

By the way, is there no help for the chart trader or manual trading in Multicharts help?
Pdf help file is also outdated.

But a new help file would be appreciated.

We are working on the new MultiCharts Wiki at the moment, it should be ready shortly. It will contain the updated version of User Manual and the users will be able to create the content as well.
PDF User Manual will be updated after we launch MultiCharts wiki. It will be the next stage of the documentation update. As for .chm Help file, it won't be supported anymore except for the context help in PowerLanguage Editor.

Hi stahen,

You can specify the number of contracts in the special field on the Chart Trading Panel. Please find the screenshot attached for reference.
More info about manual trading is here.

Yes, either click on the up arrow or erase the default number and type in the desired contract size.

stahen,

Default order size for stocks is 100, while for all the other categories it is always 1. When you change the order size for a specific symbol, this value is saved for this symbol.
For example, if you change the order size for AAPL to 101, next time you plot the chart with this specific symbol, the order size in the Chart Trading Panel will be 101.
Default order size cannot be changed.
