Hello all,
I am running Multicharts v.8. Does anyone know where there might be global settings for things like contract amounts and such. IE) If no matter what I never wanted to have more than 10 future contracts going at once.
Thanks,
Mitch

Thanks for the quick reply but I was wondering more about a global setting not just for strategies. I tried setting the strategy settings to a maximum number of contracts and it seemed to work but the chart trader still was able to place more orders than I wanted. Is there a master control for all trading?

There is no master control for all trading. You need to set it up the way you need and save your workspace. Once you open the workspace up-all your settings would be loaded.

You can setup one chart and then copy/paste it to replicate the settings.
