Hi!

I'm trying to set the custom order quantity for my M2K futures. Right now it seems like all I can do is have 1,2,3,4,5,6 contracts using my keyboard. Can I set up some custom quantities? For example 8,12,24? If yes, how can I do that? My goal is to use one shortcut like i do now, but instead of 1,2,3,4,5,6 use larger contract sizes.

Thank you!

You change the Quantity Order Buttons for the Trade Window by selecting the "Set" tab on that window. At the bottom is the list of the buttons and the quantities associated with them. Refer to the following:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Set >> Button 1-6 Quantity

Then any shortcuts you make for those buttons will be related to the quantity set for that specific chart when that chart is active.

There are only 6 buttons available. But you can also set trading configurations that have specific quantities in them. Refer to the following:
