Hello, I am using the strategy builder and I cannot find where to indicate the number of futures I want to buy.

Thanks again for your help.

Hello corman,

Thanks for your post.

There is a couple of ways you can do this.

On a per order basis, you can specify the number of contracts. To do that, in the entry method change the "Quantity" field from "DefaultQuantity" by moving the mouse in the field and clicking the word "set", From there you can choose a user input if you have one or simply select Misc>Numeric Value and enter the number representing the number of contracts to buy or sell.

Alternately, if you want to use the same quantity on every order, when you apply the strategy, in the strategy parameters, locate the field "set order quantity" which will by default show "Strategy", click the drop-down arrow and select "Default quantity" and a new field called "Default Quantity" will appear and you can directly enter the number of contracts to buy or sell each time.
