Attached order question

When I place a limit order with attached orders, it shows the distance from entry price multiplied by contract size. For example, if stop loss limit order is 20 ticks from entry price and the trade order quantity is 10, it won't display the tick value as 20, it will display it as 200 (20 ticks * 10 contracts).

Is there a setting I can change so that it displays the genuine distance rather than the value multiplied by contract size?

This is controlled through "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading >> Profit/Loss Format". It sounds like you have this set to "Ticks" at the moment, and you want the option for "Ticks - Ignore Quantity". refer to the following:
Chart Settings: Profit/Loss Format (List) (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Trading menu)
