Enhancement: Allow the selection of the number of contracts to trade at run-time #20

I'd like to be able to determine the number of contracts to be traded by a
strategy at run-time, rather than re-compiling the strategy.

This may be a little tricky. If the number of contracts to trade is fixed, then 
yes,
we could make it external to the strategy (for example, store it as a user
preference). But what if the number of contracts is variable, as in a scaling
strategy which can be long or short 1 to 5 contracts depending on the 
indicators?
