How many contracts?

It all depends on some stats, mainly worst drawdown? max single loss?
 
Insufficient info
need win rate and risk to reward to calculate position size at the bare minimum

kelly crieteria tells the mathematical optimum position size for a given win rate and risk reward
use 1/2 kelly or less as kelly is too aggresive for most.
