Order size and the reverse button

[eyuizudutela]

I'm using ChartTrader. I have an ATM strategy with 3 targets set ( each with one contract ). 1. When I choose to enter an order with 3 contracts the behavior is as I expect.
2. When I choose to enter an order with 1 contract the behavior is also what I expect - the target/loss for the 1st lot configured in the ATM is used.

While in a position created with 1 contract ( scenario #2 above ), if I hit the reverse button I expect to reverse to 1 contract in the opposite position, but instead it reverses to 3 contracts. I still have the quantity set to 1 contract in the ChartTrader panel and so I don't understand why it would submit an order for 3 contracts.

Brillo,
Can you please clarify if you have the first scenario ATM strategy template selected at the time for when you hit the reverse button?

Yes. I just tried it again and it reversed from 1 long to 3 short. I have ATM strategy set up using the config dialog of the ChartTrader:
contracts: 1, 1, 1
stops: 12, 12, 12
target: 12, 24, 36
I put 1 contract for order, go long with the one then hit the reverse button and I have 3 short, even though it still says 1 contract in the ChartTrader panel.
