Chart Trade Window - Hot Keys Issue

When I open a chart trade window on my chart, sometimes it doesn't match my trading hot key settings. For example, I have a hot key set to market order with use attached orders checked with simple brackets. Sometimes only place the order without the brackets. Also, sometimes it will change my contract size. Is there a global setting I can use that will be consistent on all my charts and hotkeys?

You need to make sure the associated trade window for the chart you are trading from is configured properly.

Refer to:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Trade Window Settings Not Applying to Chart or Trading DOM

A keyboard shortcut configured for a Market Order sends a market order through the chart or Trading DOM you are trading from according to the settings of the Trade Window for that chart.
