Types manager – allows setting defaults.
To specify additional settings for orders you need to open 'Types manager' and select a symbol type - Forex, Futures, Equities, etc. for which you want to set up default lots values. It is also possible to override default lots values for separate symbols by adding them to the symbol types tree using "+" button. In order to apply symbol type default lots settings, just delete symbol from the tree using context menu:
SL/TP default offset, ticks – specifies a default value of offset field for SL/TP;
User quantity coefficient – is a default increment applied to all quantity counters;
Price increment (arrow), ticks – determines the increment value (e.g. the Limit price field in the Order entry panel) when pressing the Up Arrow (^) key;
Default lots setup – allows enabling default lot sizes for orders of selected symbol types or specific symbols which will be available in OE section.
If 'Show offset in = Ticks (fractional ticks for Forex)', then options 'SL/TP default offset, ticks' in the Forex instrument type will be displayed in decimal view and in the corresponding format. For example, 10 ticks will be displayed as 1.0, and 50 ticks as 5.0, depending on which value is set in the option. If 'Show offset in' is NOT 'Ticks (fractional ticks for Forex)', values of the options 'SL/TP default offset, ticks' are displayed by default, e.g. 10 ticks, 50 ticks.
