choose the same lot size on every ticket and orders type

It looks to me like an attempt to cheat, when you select a lot size on some instrument, for example, a limit order, switch to the market order - and there is a different size, usually larger. Today I opened a sell limit on oil on the chart with the right mouse button - there were 100 lots by default (wtf?).
Why can't I select the default lot size?

hello Sir, 

 

You can change the lot size from the Settings and Contracts and select the limit order you need to be as a Unit or as a Contracts. 

But you are right; when a default lot size is selected on one pair and switches to a different pair, the lot size won't be as a default.
