How do you go about increasing the size of an open position as conditions allow.?
And how can you check it?

You can't increase the size of a Position in a Backtest, but you can add more positions for a symbol and manage each one by selecting the "Multiple Positions" radio button in a Block Strategy.

Thanks, so in order to take more positions (in a more complex method) I would need to create C#. Or I can just check the allow multiple positions. The trick would be creating criteria to allow the similar entry.
I guess I need a crash course on C#.
I think I saw some information on a couple of free books on the website here for learning.

Just click “Multiple Positions” and make sure the entry logic is such that it only triggers when you want another position.
For example, you probably shouldn’t use Indicator Compare… as the only rule to put on a new position. It would result in a new position for each bar the rule is true.
Instead, be specific about the bar that triggers an entry using, for example,
Indicator Crosses…
