I want to thank you guys for helping me with all my questions, I promise to do 
the same when I know something.  My question today is how to calculate position 
size in futures in order to limit initial risk to $1,000 per position (based on 
the exit).  What I have so far is:

numcontracts = 1000 /(PointValue * (bbt-ma));
PositionSize = numcontracts * MarginDeposit;

What I thought I was doing was entering at bbt (bollingerbandtop) with an exit 
at ma (moving average) and risking $1,000.  If positionsize < 0 than I would 
not take the trade.
What did I do wrong?
