Try this:

1) Set up a variable: NumberOfContractsToBuy.  Set it up like this:
NumberOfContractsToBuy = IIf(Name() == "Put your contract symbol here
between the quotes", 1, 5); //This says if the symbol matches what
you put between the quotes, buy 1, otherwise buy 5.

2) Now you command PositionSize to = NumberOfContractsToBuy.

The only trick here is that PositionSize has to be set *after* you
set Buyprice (lower in the code than the Buyprice statement).

For your low and high, I would not use cross.  Perhaps someone can
make it work that way, but I would say this:

NewLow = L < LLV(L,10);

See how you get with this much.

P.S. Notice how I have changed the subject line.  TJ maintains a
database for this list, and it is searchable.  A subject line that
actually describes what we are talking about is much more helpful for
searching purposes than "Need help" which would apply to almost every
message ever posted here, and gives us no real information about
anything being discussed.
