Enter +1 Contract as strategy parameters are met

[joshmock89]

Initial entry is tied to firstbarofsession and enters 1 contract. From there, i have a series of reversal parameters and i would like to add +1 contract for each reversal parameter met.

Example: Short 1 Contract, Long 2 contracts, short 3 contracts, long 4 contacts etc. Every time a reversal parameter is met, it enters existing quantity of contracts +1

I have tried multiple times, and even enlisted the help of others to accomplish this. NT support offered up some script snippets that should accomplish this, BUT they enter all contracts that would have historically calculated on the chart. So my first entry took off with 176 contracts lol. Since my initial entry is 1 contract and tied to first bar of session, i want a script that would then look at current quantity of contracts and then +1 from there on throughout the trading session.

Is anyone able to offer some code snippets that would accomplish this task? Thanks
