You would just select a Quantity of 1 for the particular symbol. Refer to the following:
Chart Trading and the Chart DOM: Changing Order Quantity

If you are looking for something else, then we need more information on what you are trying to do.

I'm thinking about 1/10 of the contract. 10p=$10. I don't know how to set it.

You can no do this with these instruments. The smallest unit is a quantity of 1.

They have Micro versions of the bigger contracts that are smaller lots, for instance GC is a lot size of 100 troy ounces of gold. But there is also the MGC symbol (Micro Gold) which is a lot size of 10 troy ounces.

Each instrument still has a smallest quantity of 1, but if you want the Micro Gold, then you need to chart and trade the MGC symbol.

Same thing for CL. The micro-crude is MCL. 1/10 the size.
