So I set/saved my dom for 4 contracts when I enter . I have my first target taking 1 off , then second target taking 3 off. The problem is , randomly it will set 2 contracts at my first target and 2 at my second. I have to keep resetting and saving the dom quantities for my targets How can I fix this ? |

You need to use a Trade Configuration and have it setup with the split between the targets as you want it. Just changing the quantity will not get the setup as you want it.

I DO have a trade configuration. I saved it. Like I said, I have 4 contracts with my first target taking off 1 then my second target takes the remaining 3 and that configuration is saved . But at times with that same saved configuration it shows my first target is to take off 2 and 2 contracts at my second target Like it loses memory of that configuration . |

Keep in mind that a Trade Configuration may be displayed at the top of the Trade Window, but it does not mean that that Trade Configuration is applying at that time. You specifically need to select that configuration again in order to have it apply at that time. For example, you select the configuration (call it "Config1") and you have your targets set to be a quantity of 1 and 3. Then you change the quantity from 4 to 3, then change it back to 4. At this point the distribution of the quantities could be anything, but most likely will be 2 and 2, as the system does not know how you want them distributed at this point. Therefore, you need to select the "Config1" configuration again in order to have the setup of 3 and 1. If you are seeing a problem with the configuration not applying the quantities correctly after selecting it, then please let us know.
