Understanding contract units and multipliers

Position quantity needs a unit before a price change can be translated into money.

Educational guideSeptember 2026

Read the size definition

An order quantity might represent shares, units, contracts or lots. A quoted point can also have a different monetary value across instruments. The contract multiplier connects the displayed quantity and price movement to economic exposure. Two positions with the same screen quantity can therefore carry very different risks. Identify the unit, multiplier, quotation currency and minimum increment before comparing sizes or estimating a potential profit or loss.

Work through a small example

For a simple linear contract, multiply the price change by quantity and the stated multiplier, then account for direction, costs and any currency conversion. Confirm whether the product follows that structure before using the formula. Record the specifications beside your calculation so another person can reproduce it. FYLU has not confirmed live contract sizes or tick values; numbers in its preview should not be assumed to define an executable contract.
