Futures Contract quantity exponential

[ju1234]

Guidance please: I want to do increasing quantities of contracts. The first trade should be 1 contract, 2nd trade in the same direction should be 2 contracts, 3rd trade 3 contracts and so on to maximum of 5 in same direction. Then do the reversal close all open contracts and start with 1 contract in the new direction. How do I accomplish that? Thanks.

This is best done via manual programming in the NinjaScrip Editor vs the Strategy Wizard. Short of writing the code, you would have to do something like:

- Keep count of the # of entries taken in a single direction
- On each incrementing entry, stuff in the increased quantity
