Chart Calculator Tool: Setting Quantity used in Calculations

On some of my charts, the Chart Calculator Tool calculates CV (Currency Value) based on the quantity of contracts selected in Chart Trader... e.g. 3

On other charts, if I set Qty in Chart Trader to 3 - then the Chart Calculator Tool still just calculates the CV using a quantity of 1.

How can I change the # of contracts used by the Chart Calculator Tool to calculate CV?

ah thanks, I understand now... Chart Trade Mode must be on for Qty to be factored in
