Hello, data feed is Rithmic... some of the times, when i enter a trade with 1 lot, it will trigger in 2. it has done that about 3 times in the last couple of trading days.. Do you have any idea why that happens? Thank you

Make sure you are setting the order quantity on the correct Trade Window:

Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main >> Order Quantity (Quantity) (Trade Window Settings Not Applying to Chart or Trading DOM)

Thank you and yes i am setting the order quantity correctly. it was set at 1 but triggered me into 2. Most of the time it is correct, but 3 times so far, it triggered 2 lots.. any other ideas as to why this happens?

The only reason this would happen is if your input device, is triggering 2 click left click actions.

Exactly how are you submitting the order? And what type of input device do you have.

I have the (1) size depressed on the DOM, meaning i am always entering with 1 lot. Never 2 or more at this point in my journey. One click action. My mouse is loud with a click, so i would be aware of i am clicking it 2 times for 2 lots. Very strange
