Futures Contract Calculator

A simple calculator for sizing index-futures trades around a planned risk amount.

How to use this

  1. Type your stop size in points. Example: if your entry is 100 points from your stop, type 100.
  2. Type how much you want to risk on the trade.
  3. Use the big number as your contract size.

Instrument:

The calculator rounds to the nearest contract count and shows how far over/under the target risk that contract count is.

This is not financial advice, trading advice, or a recommendation to take any trade. It is just a sizing tool. Always double-check the math, your platform, your copier settings, your prop firm rules, and your own risk before entering a trade.

Quick Guide

  1. Pick the futures contract you are trading.
  2. Enter your stop size in points and the most you want to risk in dollars.
  3. Use the highlighted contract count as the closest whole-contract size to that risk. Check the lower and higher alternatives before placing the trade.
