-- Why contract details are the first risk control
Many trading mistakes happen before you ever click “Buy” or “Sell.” They happen when a trader assumes a contract behaves like something else. Futures-style products can vary widely in settlement rules, margin requirements, and pricing mechanics, so verifying specifications is a form of risk management.
Checklist: the non-negotiables
- Underlying reference: what exactly is the contract tracking?
- Contract unit: how much exposure does one contract represent?
- Price increments: tick size and how it affects order placement.
- Minimum order size: whether partial sizing is possible.
- Margin rules: initial vs maintenance margin, plus any tiering by size.
- Liquidation policy: how the platform handles margin shortfalls and what warnings appear.
Cost checklist: what you actually pay
A trader should estimate costs before trading, especially for short-term strategies.
- Entry fee and exit fee (maker/taker differences)
- Any ongoing funding/financing mechanism (if applicable to the contract)
- Spread and expected slippage for your typical order size
How to translate specs into a trade plan
Once you know the contract unit and margin rules, you can size properly. Choose a stop-loss level based on market structure, compute the dollar risk, then choose position size so that a stop-out is a tolerable loss. This is the opposite of “max leverage and hope.”
