Contract intelligence

The contract spec is fixed. Your risk is a choice.

Search 54 futures contracts, compare tick economics, then see whether one contract fits the drawdown you actually have—not the account size printed in the headline.

What this adds

Reference layerTick size, tick value, point value, exchange, and contract unit.
Decision layerRisk as a percentage of drawdown, with micro-first alternatives.
Process boundaryEducational math only; confirm live specs and fees before trading.

Contract fit check

Size from drawdown.

The advertised account size provides context. Your maximum loss limit is the denominator that matters.

Account / evaluation size$Maximum drawdown$InstrumentPlanned stop distance (ticks)

One MES contract risks

$25.00

Plan-sized

1.0% of the $2,500.00 drawdown at a 20-tick stop. Leaves room for normal variance inside the drawdown.

That drawdown is 5.0% of the displayed account size.

Contract reference

Search the CME complex.

Exchange-published specifications can change. Confirm the current contract page and your broker's fees before relying on these values.
