The answer to the question that is asked is that you open additional positions by sending a Market Buy or Sell order for the additional quantity you want to add.

But we think there is more to this question. We are not sure what you are looking for, but perhaps what you are really asking about is the "Scale In" option. Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Scaling In

Also refer to the section on "Scaling Out" just above Scaling In.

And one last item that you need to understand is the "Position Average Price". Refer to the following:
