Obtain the original turtle rules on the internet and read the section on position sizing.

No matter what instrument you are trading, position sizing principles stay the same.

The Original Turtle Trading Rules (.pdf) talks about adding to existing positions, a tactic which some people describe as "pyramiding".

As sluggo pointed out, Turtle rules do talk about pyramiding.

However, be aware that pyramding makes the equity curve more volatile, and can even cause profitable systems to become unprofitable as a fully pyramid position can become top-heavy at the end of a trend.
