Default Quantity on Strategy wrong

Thalamus · 02-24-2009, 09:02 AM

Started live trading today and everything works great but the default quantity on my "target" limit orders, and protective stop get entered as 50 shares instead of 500 shares. When I start the strategy, under Order Properties, I select Set order Quantity to "by default quantity" and Default Quantiy = 500. My entry stops work fine and go in at 500, but not the protetive stop and limit order? Doesn't this initial screen override any strategy settings for quantity?

I can send some of my code if necessary. Thanks.

My second set of orders worked fine so please disregard request. Very impressed with the reliability overall so far in testing and the ease of getting everything working the first time (for the most part).
