Your initial assumption was was right. Apologies if I'm missing something but I still can't work out a formula for J26 that allows an order quantity based on a percentage of J11. Ideally what I would like to do is trade one contract for a specific amount such as 1 contract per $8000. Once the account(or in this case J11) makes an additional $8000 then an additional contract would be added. So starting off with say $50 000 the order quantity would be 6 and once J11 reached $58 000 the order quantity would be 7 etc.
