makincash Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 In the help it states: Quantity - these options control the automatic filling in of the quantity field in the trading ticket that when you invoke trading on a symbol. The quantity settings are can be customized differently for stocks and options. I can't seem to get the trade ticket to autopopulate the share count no matter what I do with the settings for that account. Every trade ticket opens up with 0 shares in it for the QTY. I am just right clicking on a chart and selecting trade. Not sure if I am doing something wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makincash Posted September 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 New trade ticket I do see the green top left corner 3700 which I can click and it then populates the qty. Is that what is supposed to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 SETTINGS / TRADING / GENERAL - do you have the box checked for "Do not use default QTY on the trade ticket"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted September 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Yup that was the problem. Now if I have a position the field populates. Thanks you, didn't notice that in the options. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
