I have one main ATM strategy I use when entering the market. It submits a hard stop and a limit order.
However, if I change to another ATM strategy later, my order quantity automatically defaults back to 1.
So, it's happened that I've been trading 4 contracts, but suddenly am trading 1 contract instead as I didn't pay attention to this.
Is there a way to avoid this when switching between ATM strategies? A setting?
If not, I suggest that Ninjatrader implement this somehow. Could be a setting on the Chart Trader or elsewhere which states something to the effect of 'Keep order quantity fixed'. Or maybe I could set my default order quantity somehow.
PS: I know I can probably program quantity in the ATM, but my contract sizing is a bit flexible, so would prefer to not do that.
Thanks in advance!
Johnny
