Would be most grateful if one of the math-types could help with a simple 
formula. It's for a MM system which works like this:
Contracts   Account
1             10
2             15
3             25
4             40
5             60
6             85
All that happens is that the account size must increase by 5, 10, 15, 20 and 
so on before adding another contract.
In order to backtest it, I need to know how to work out how many contracts 
you can trade for a particular account size - do the sums backwards, in 
other words, but it's got me foxed.
Can someone give me a little formula that I can plug the account size into 
and that will give me the number of contracts? So if you plugged any value 
from 40-59 in, you'd get 4, a value from 60-84 would give you 5 and so on.
Ta!
Cheers,
Ian
